Another free agent move has officially been ticked off as Liam Jones returns to the AFL with the Western Bulldogs.
Carlton will receive a third-round draft pick as compensation (currently No.49), and as a result, now holds a selection in every round of November’s draft with picks 10, 29, 49, 66 and 68.
“I’m just so grateful to have the opportunity to play at the highest level again,” Jones said in a Bulldogs statement.
“This club gave me a chance all those years ago and I’m excited by the prospect of returning and helping this group continue to strive for success.”
“Having started my career at the club, I feel a sense of belonging in the red, white and blue and can’t wait to meet all the players and staff over the coming weeks.
“I learnt plenty from my time at Carlton and hopefully I can bring some of that knowledge and experience over to the Dogs to help support the great players in our back half.”
“We’re thrilled to officially welcome Liam back into our colours,” Bulldogs list boss Sam Power added.
“Liam has some great relationships from his previous time at the Bulldogs, coupled with strong defensive attributes, we believe he will be a great fit for our football club.
“Having 161 games behind him, Liam brings a sense of leadership and stability to our back line, adding more depth in that area of the ground.”
