Free agent Liam Jones has officially joined the Western Bulldogs.
The 31-year-old last featured at the top level for Carlton in 2021 but didn’t play in 2022 due to his vaccination status.
After taking a year off, the key defender was deemed an unrestricted free agent and formally committed to the Bulldogs in mid-September.
With paperwork now lodged, Jones returns to the club that he played 66 games for to start his career before he shifted to the Blues ahead of the 2015 season.
While he wasn’t on Carlton’s list in 2022, the Blues will receive pick 49 as compensation for losing Jones at the end of 2021.
Jones has kicked 84 goals from 161 games at AFL level across 12 seasons.
