The Saints are pleased to announce that International Rookie, Tommy Walsh, has now been elevated to the Club’s primary list.

Tommy will be replacing Jesse Smith, who was added to the Long Term Injury List at the end of June earlier this year.

Since arriving at the Club at the start of this season from Gaelic Football side Kerry, Tommy has shown great determination in adapting to the game of AFL. He has played for St Kilda’s VFL affiliate side, Sandringham, in all of their 18 senior matches this year being named in the Zebra’s best on seven occasions.

Playing most of the season in defence, Tommy also made a number of appearances in the forward line and kicked seven goals for the year.
