The Brisbane Lions have completed a trade with the Melbourne Football Club for Tom Fullarton.

The trade sees the forward-ruck become a Demon and in exchange the Lions receive pick 47 in the 2023 NAB AFL Draft.

Brisbane Lions List Manager, Dom Ambrogio said the Club thanked Fullarton for his services.

β€œWhilst it is always disappointing to lose players you have spent time developing, we understand Tom wanted to seek further opportunities and are glad we could help facilitate a trade,” he said.

β€œDuring his time with us, Tom was a respected and valued member of the Club and played 19 games at AFL level including several finals.

β€œWe would like to thank Tom for his contribution to the Brisbane Lions and wish him well for the future.”

Fullarton, a former member of the Brisbane Lions Academy, originally signed as a Category B Rookie from the Brisbane Bullets in a move from basketball to football midway through the 2018 season.
