Josh Bruce has joined the Western Bulldogs after the Saints and Bulldogs agreed to a deal which will see picks No. 32 and 51 come to Moorabbin in exchange for the key forward. 

The exchange sees the Saints acquire two picks which equate to selection 22 according to the Draft Value Index. 

The 27-year-old had one year left to run on his contract at St Kilda, but the Dogs’ appealing offer was enough for Bruce to request a trade.

General Manager of Football Simon Lethlean acknowledged Bruce’s service over the past six seasons. 

“We’d like to thank Josh for his service to our club,” Lethlean said. 

“We wish he and his family all the best for his future at the Western Bulldogs.”     

Bruce played 99 games and kicked 168 goals for St Kilda over six seasons after crossing from Greater Western Sydney in 2013. 

Bruce was originally drafted as an ACT zone selection by the Giants in 2010.
