Premiership forward Dan Butler has become the Saints’ fifth recruit of the Trade Period after a deal was confirmed between the St Kilda and Richmond today.
The Saints received the speedster in exchange for pick No. 56 in this year’s draft.
List Manager James Gallagher said the 23-year-old added an extra dimension to the Saints’ list with his speed and aerobic capacity.

“We are really pleased to bring Dan on board and add to the talented group recruited over the past 10 days,” Gallagher said.
“He is a player with a specific skillset who we believe will bolster our forward line.”
“His ability to work up the ground and hit the forward 50 with speed is really strong, as his appetite for defensive pressure.”
Butler played 45 games for the Tigers and was part of the drought-breaking Premiership side of 2017.
