Melbourne forward Mitch Hannan has been traded to the Western Bulldogs for a future third-round draft pick.
The 26-year old, who has signed a two-deal with the Bulldogs, has played 50 AFL games and booted 55 goals after making his debut in 2017.
“We’re excited to have Mitch return to our club,” Bulldogs General Manager of List and Recruiting Sam Power told the club website.
“He was drafted from our VFL program in 2016 and over the past four seasons has established himself as a dangerous forward at AFL level.
“Mitch is a versatile player who can contribute in a variety of roles.
“Primarily, we see him being able to add to our forward mix with his speed, tackle pressure and ability to impact the scoreboard.”
It's a homecoming of sorts for Hannan, who was a member of the Bulldogs’ 2016 VFL premiership side.
The AFL trade period ends on Thursday night at 7.30pm AEST.
