Carlton and former number four draft pick Jarrod Pickett have mutually parted ways, bringing an end to Pickett's time at the Blues.

A statement on Carlton's website cited Pickett's motivation to play at the highest level, with the club also confirming they will continue to help him overcome a knee injury he sustained last year.

Carlton's GM of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni made the following comments.

โ€œBoth parties have made the decision to part ways now in order to allow Jarrod to get back home to his family,โ€ Silvagni told the club's website.

โ€œWe will provide Jarrod with the necessary assistance he requires to begin the next chapter of his life and we wish him all the best for the future.โ€

Pickett played 17 games for the Blues, with his final game coming in round 21, 2018.
