Western Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney has departed the Club to take up an opportunity at the GWS Giants.

McCartney leaves after six years at the Club, having accepted a role overseeing the Giants’ recruiting and list management team.

“I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Western Bulldogs for their support during my time at the Club,” McCartney said.

“It has been a great experience, and I’ve made some strong friendships over the last six years.

“An exciting opportunity has presented at Greater Western Sydney for my family and I, and I’m now looking forward to the next chapter of my career.”

McCartney helped piece together the list structure which led to the Bulldogs’ 2016 premiership, and has played a key role in navigating the Club through the AFL free agency and trade periods.

“On behalf of the Club, I’d like to thank Jason for his valuable contribution to the Bulldogs over an extended period of time,” said Bulldogs Director of Football, Chris Grant.

“We understand the role is a great opportunity for Jason and his family, we are very supportive of the decision he has made, and we wish him all the best for the next phase of his career.”
