ST KILDA has landed two mature-age players in a deal with Greater Western Sydney.

Terry Milera from SANFL club Port Adelaide and Ahmed Saad from VFL club Northern Bullants will join the Saints after GWS had the rights to them as they had previously nominated for the draft.

In return the Saints have downgraded their draft pick 20 to 25, giving GWS 12 of the first 20 picks at next month's NAB AFL Draft.

23-year-old Milera had a standout year for the Port Adelaide Magpies as a lightly-built small forward.

Saad, 22, only began playing football five years ago after spending much of his childhood living in Egypt.

He caught recruiters eye at last week's AFL Draft Combine where he won the repeat sprint test in 23.64 seconds, the fourth-best time in combine history.

Saad was a hot prospect after an impressive season with the Bullants where he stood out while among players on Carlton's list.
