FORMER Fremantle forward Shane Yarran is out of prison and on a path to completing a full football circle.

The 28-year-old triple WAFL premiership player has been training with Subiaco since mid-December and hopes to grace the field some time this season.

Yarran played in the Lions’ back to back flags of 2014 and ’15.

The medium-sized forward was selected by the Dockers with pick 61 in the 2015 national draft after kicking 54 majors from 19 games that season to win the Bernie Naylor Medal as the league’s leading goalkicker.

He kicked 10 goals in six games at AFL level in 2016 but after a series of off-field incidents, announced his retirement at the end of that season.

As a listed Docker, he kicked five goals against his old side Subiaco to help Peel claim their first premiership win in 2016.

Yarran was released from prison late last year, serving six months after pleading guilty to charges including reckless driving to escape pursuit and driving without a valid licence. The high speed police chase through Gosnells ended when he jumped out of a moving car.

Subiaco chief executive Peter Capes said this week there was a bigger picture at play than a WAFL comeback. “We are working through a program with the AFL Players’ Association for a rehabilitation plan for him,” Capes said. “One of the things that came out of their discussions was he wanted to be in an environment where he felt welcomed and being part of a group and he nominated Subi footy club to do that.

“We are working through that mainly to assist that. If he plays footy – and if you ask him he wants to play footy – but from our point of view that was never a consideration. We think he’s months off, if at all. The players have a lot of time for Yaz and he shows the respect vice-versa.”

Delisted Dockers’ ruckman Zac Clarke has also joined Subiaco.
