Uncontracted emerging Swans ruckman Darcy Cameron has told Sydney he wants to be traded to Collingwood.

A third-round pick in the 2016 draft, the West Australian did not play a game this season but performed well in the NEAFL and drew interest from several clubs. The 205cm ruck has played just one game of senior football in his three seasons at the Swans.

Cameron's manager Colin Young confirmed he had officially told the Swans of his preference on Monday and said his client was able to play forward as well as ruck and wanted more opportunities to play.

Collingwood is looking to reinforce its ruck depth in the event Brodie Grundy suffered an injury and presumably also with uncertainty on Grundy's future after next year when he is out of contract and becomes a free agent. Cameron would also potentially compete with Mason Cox as a marking forward and second ruck.
