Geelong forward Shane Kersten has joined Fremantle in exchange for pick No.63.
Kersten, who grew up in WA, was one of the Dockersโ primary targets this trade period andย requested a trade to the club earlier thisย month.
โShane had a strong year in 2016 playing in Geelongโs forward line, where he showed his ability to play his role and kick goals,โย Fremantleโs general manager of list management Brad Lloyd said.
โWe look forward to Shane adding to Fremantleโs forward line and being a long-term player for the club.โ
The 23-year-old played 13 of the openingย 14 games of the season, however, struggled to cement his spot in the side in the second half of the season, playing just four games in the Catsโ final 10 games and soughtย a trade in search of moreย regular senior football.
He is the Dockers' fourth acquisition this trade period.
