One of the game's most damaging forwards and an excitement machine every time he steps onto the field, Geelong fans will have plenty to look forward to as they prepare to watch Toby Greene in the Hoops next year. 

After an outstanding stint across 15 years with the GWS Giants, Greene made the move last Friday as he signed with the Cats as a free agent, which will see him with Geelong until at least the end of 2029. 

He brings with him a phenomenal resume as a bona fide star of the game, with the ability to hit the scoreboard and roll through the midfield as required, which will add an enthralling new dynamic for the Cats. 

Take a look through the career of Toby Greene so far, in preparation for his debut season in the blue and white Hoops.
