Versatile Fremantle wingman Liam Henry officially requested to be traded away from Cockburn on Wednesday, following his earlier decision to put off contract talks until the end of the season.
After an underwhelming beginning to his career, the off-contract Docker put the finishing touches on a career-best campaign four years on from his 2019 debut.
During a disappointing year for Fremantle as a whole, the 22-year-old performed impressively in 2023 under Justin Longmuir, adapting to and thriving in a dependable wing role after previously plying his trade as a forward.
Averaging a career-best 20.4 disposals a game, the youngster's career is evidently ascending, as his ability to win the ball on the wing and move it along in transition was crucial to Fremantle's attacking movements this season.

Henry's positional flexibility has garnered the interest of a host of rival clubs intrigued by the prospect of acquiring his long-term services, with this year's trade period quickly upcoming.ย For the right price, the West Australian could be a great pickup for a handful of clubs, whether they be contenders or rebuilders.
We explored five potential landing spots for the wantaway Docker.
5. North Melbourne
North Melbourne should be on the lookout for as much available young talent as possible, with the wantaway Henry no exception.
Heading into his second season at the Arden Street helm, there's no doubt coach Alastair Clarkson will be assessing ways to inject more senior talent into his list as the Roos continue their protracted rebuild.
Capping a success-starved 2023 campaign with a rare victory over the Suns, the Roos will be hoping morale at the club is high, particularly after Nick Larkey earned his maiden All-Australian blazer and Harry Sheezel claimed this year's Rising Star award.
The club's burgeoning talent is plain to see, hence North will hope the appeal to join the club is apparent.
Spots are up for grabs at the Kangaroos, so Henry could view Arden Street as a destination where he could make a wing his own, all while playing under a legendary coach.
