Hawthorn Football Club can confirm midfielder Tom Mitchell will join the Hawks after a deal was finalised with Sydney Football Club today.



Sydney will receive picks 14 and 52 in exchange for Mitchell.



Hawthorn will also receive pick 57 as part of the deal.



Hawthorn Recruiting and List Manager Graham Wright said:



“We are pleased the deal could be finalised and Tom is able to join the Hawks.



“Tom has had a terrific year at the Swans and we look forward to welcoming him to the Hawks.



“We would like to thank Sydney for their professional approach in getting this deal done.”



Mitchell was drafted to the Swans in 2011 from Claremont (WA) as their 1st round father-son selection (No. 21 overall). The 23-year-old has played 63 career games since making his debut in 2013 and kicked 38 goals.



Mitchell is the second player to join the Hawks during this year’s trade period after a deal was reached with Ty Vickery on Monday.
