ST KILDA and Greater Western Sydney have agreed on a trade for midfielder Jack Steele.

The Saints have given up a future second-round draft pick in return for the 20-year-old Steele, with the paperwork to be officially lodged with the AFL on Friday.

St Kilda will also gain out-of-contract Western Bulldog Koby Stevens, who has nominated the Saints as his club of choice.

Steele has played 17 games for the Giants over two seasons, averaging 15.5 disposals per game this year.

The Giants took Steele with Pick 24 in the 2014 national draft after North Melbourne, one of a group of clubs interested at the time, bid Pick 15 for him.

“We’re thrilled to have Jack join the Saints and with his ability to play both in the midfield and forward, we think he’ll strongly complement our young, emerging list while filling a key need,” St Kilda list manager Ameet Bains said.

“Jack’s had some strong performances and at only 20-years-old we think he has a lot of potential to continue to develop and be a quality player for the club.”
