Ross Glendinning medallist Josh Hill will move to Victoria for season 2018, signing with Carlton’s VFL affiliate the Northern Blues.

Hill was de-listed by the Eagles at the end of last season after 107 games and 151 goals for the club.

He had previously played 66 games at the Western Bulldogs before being traded at the end of 2011.

The 28-year-old’s selection was a constant source of debate for Eagles fans, but at his best he was a handy goal-kicker, and was named best on ground in the second western derby of 2015 with a four-goal performance. He finished that season with 40 goals to his name.

The Blues said Hill would “provide extremely valuable leadership” for their young group.
