Fremantle have announced that Supplemental Selection Period signing Isaiah Dudley will make his AFL debut just over a month after the Dockers officially added him to their AFL list.
Dudley began training with the club after young tall Odin Jones suffered a spinal injury, placing him on the long-term injury list in December.
Dudley arrived from SANFL club Central Districts after kicking 21 goals from 20 appearances, which culminated in a third-place finish in the club's best and fairest.
Playing in two Peel Thunder games to begin his time at the club, Dudley has impressed with two goals in each match. Currently listed as the smallest player in the AFL with a stature of 168cm, Dudley's corralling pressure and attack on the football are two of the 22-year-old's starring traits.
