"We’re delighted to have Sam arrive at the club," Western Bulldogs general manger of list and recruiting Sam Power said.
"We recognised Sam as a player who addresses an important need for us, in terms of his ability to hit the scoreboard, and he also provides an extra midfield option for us.
"Sam is a great character and he will be a great fit at the Bulldogs. We’re confident that he’s got plenty of good football ahead of him."
