Former Richmond midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins has flocked to South Australia to continue his football career, joining SANFL side Woodville-West Torrens.
Collier-Dawkins was one of four Tigers not offered a contract for the 2023 season, seeing his time at Punt Road come to an end after four seasons and 11 AFL matches.
While the 22-year-old has been in discussions with multiple AFL clubs since his delisting, Collier-Dawkins will feature for the Eagles in 2023 should an opportunity in the top flight fail to arise.
Woodville-West Torrens coach Jade Sheedy expressed his delight in attaining Collier-Dawkins' signature.
"Riley is a quality young man and will fit in with the group really well," Sheedy told the club's website.
"His skill set as a midfielder really complements the rest of the boys we will have in there and I'm excited to see what he can do for our team in 2023."
Collier-Dawkins adds to a promising off-season window for the Eagles, who have also secured former Crow James Rowe and ex-Cat Zane Williams for next year.
The young midfielder expressed his delight in heading to Maughan Thiem Kia Oval for 2023.
"I'm really excited to join the Eagles," he said.
"The Club and Jade's philosophy and values really align with my own, which I think will allow me to play my best footy and fulfil my role as best as I can."
The Eagles finished seventh in the SANFL this year with a record of nine wins and nine losses.
