Delisted Fremantle Docker Ethan Hughes has signed a contract with WAFL club South Fremantle ahead of the 2025 season.
Originally from Bunbury, Western Australia, Hughes was drafted at Pick 13 in the 2015 rookie draft.
Hughes played 107 games for the Dockers across 10 seasons, averaging over 14 disposals a game for his career before being delisted at the end of the 2024 season.

The 29 year old will also join ex-AFL player Jermaine Jones who signed with the club after being delisted by West Coast.
The South Fremantle Bulldogs finished 6th on the WAFL ladder in 2024 with the club looking to improve on that position in 2025.
Former Fremantle and Collingwood player Chris Mayne will also retain a role at the club, being promoted to a senior assistant coach, overseeing the strategy and skills of the team.
"I'm really excited to continue my coaching at South Fremantle, working closely with this coaching group and our talented list is a huge honour, and I can't wait to get started," Chris Mayne said.
"South Fremantle isn't just about football, it's a family. The Club's family focus is felt every day, and it's a big part of why I wanted to remain here.
"I'm excited to get started and share my journey and knowledge and assist in the development of our players and help them achieve their goals, not only as individuals but also as a club."
