Toby Greene to Quit GWS Giants, Set to Join Geelong • The Western Weekender
The 32-year-old all-time leading goalkicker will join the Cats on a three-year deal after 15 seasons and 450 goals with GWS, club officials said.
- On Thursday, GWS captain Toby Greene confirmed his intention to leave the Giants for the Geelong Football Club. Departing Giants CEO Dave Matthews revealed the news on radio, citing Greene's desire to return to Victoria for family reasons.
- A foundation player at the club, Greene debuted in 2012 and played 282 senior matches over 15 seasons. He kicked 450 goals, won the best-and-fairest award twice, and earned three-time All-Australian honors.
- The unrestricted free agent will accept a three-year deal with the Cats, reuniting with former teammate Jeremy Cameron. Greene, who turns 33 next week, is one of two remaining inaugural Giants players alongside Stephen Coniglio.
- "That's the decision he has made and we certainly respect that," Matthews said. The executive described Greene as a "celebrated figure at our club" and a "very important person" who made a difficult family choice.
- Greene concludes his 15-year career as the expansion club's most-capped player and all-time leading goalkicker. He has played his final game for GWS, closing a significant chapter as the organization prepares for the post-Greene era.
