The Western Bulldogs have secured highly-regarded recruiter Dom Milesi to its list management team, as National Recruiting Manager.

Milesi arrives at VU Whitten Oval with extensive experience, having spent a combined 15 years at Collingwood and Hawthorn Football Clubs.

Milesi has been one of the key members of the Magpies’ list management team since 2008, in a number of recruiting, talent identification and opposition analysis roles.

“We’re thrilled to have Dom join the Western Bulldogs and we’re excited about what he’ll be able to add to our list management and recruiting team,” said Bulldogs’ General Manager of List and Recruiting, Sam Power.

“Dom is a respected and highly-credentialled recruiter who has been a loyal member of Collingwood’s recruiting team for over a decade.

“Dom’s experience and skills are perfectly suited to our National Recruiting Manager role, and we’re looking forward to him helping us strengthen our playing list further in the near future.”

Prior to his time at Collingwood, Milesi held recruiting and opposition analysis roles at Hawthorn Football Club.

“I’m thankful for this fantastic opportunity at the Western Bulldogs and I can’t wait to get started,” Milesi said.

“I’ve been impressed by the way the Bulldogs have advanced their list over the last few years, and I hope I can play my part in adding to that growth.

“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone at Collingwood for their support over a long period of time. I’m proud to leave on good terms, and I wish them all the best for the future.”

Milesi also has considerable experience in the finance and accounting sector, including a seven-year stint as Financial Analyst at the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Milesi is expected to start his new role at the Bulldogs next month.
