Fremantle forward Jesse Hogan will move to a third AFL club after requesting a trade to Greater Western Sydney.

The Giants and Dockers have already agreed to the switch despite the trade period not commencing until Wednesday.

Fremantle football manager Peter Bell said details of the trade will be finalised soon.

“Following a series of discussions between the club, Jesse and his management it was mutually agreed that it was in Jesse’s best interests to further his playing career by moving away from WA,” Bell said.

“Due to injury and other factors, he was unable to play at the level we all know he is capable of.”

Contracted at the Dockers until the end of next year, Hogan has struggled to live up to expectations after his high-profile move from Melbourne in 2018.

The Dockers were quietly trying to offload the 25-year-old and Hogan looms as a replacement for Jeremy Cameron with the star forward destined to join Geelong.

Hogan has played 19 games with the Dockers, kicking 18 goals, but also spent time in defence this year.

He was traded to the Dockers for draft picks six and 23 after kicking 152 goals from 71 games at Melbourne.

Hogan says he will be “forever in debt” to how Fremantle supported him during struggles with his mental health.

“I wish I was able to contribute a lot more to the football club than I have in my time here,” the two-time Demons leading goalkicker said.

“You will not know how disappointed I am that it didn’t work out the way I hoped it would when I got to come to the Dockers.

“For that I’m sorry, but I leave a team that is on the way up and I wish you all success in the future.”
