Geelong has added ruckman/forward Josh Jenkins in a trade with the Adelaide Crows. The Cats sent selection 37 in the 2019 national draft to Adelaide in exchange for Jenkins and a 2020 third round selection (on traded from Gold Coast).
“Josh will give us added depth and experience as a tall option,” Geelong’s recruiting and list manager Stephen Wells said.
“He has been a very good player for the Crows and he is looking forward to making a strong contribution for the Cats in the coming years.”
Jenkins played 147 games and kicked 296 goals with Adelaide in eight seasons. He was named in the 2016 All Australian 40 player squad and helped Adelaide to the 2017 AFL grand final.
Jenkins has averaged over two goals per game in each of the past six years. Originally a rookie with Essendon, Jenkins was also an elite junior basketballer.
He is currently overseas and will commence pre-season training with the Cats in November.
