Carlton has signed two Irish footballers as Category B Rookies.
Rob Monahan and Matt Duffy join the club following an expedition to Ireland from their list management team.
The club has described the 19-year-old Monahan as a 189cm athlete who can kick on both sides of his body.
Duffy meanwhile is a 19-year-old running machine standing at 194cm.
Carlton list manager Nick Austin expressed the club’s excitement to have the pair.
“We are so excited to have Robert and Matt join the Blues next season. Both players are fantastic athletes and exceptional characters," Austin told the club's website.
“Both will add depth to our midfield group, with Robert having the ability to play forward.
“While both have the skills to thrive in the AFL, we will invest heavily in their development whilst also supporting them in their transition to Australia.
“Their talent is really clear and we’re confident with our development pathway being really well established at the Club under Luke Power, we will provide Robert and Matt with all the support they need to thrive at IKON Park.”
The pair represent Kerry and Dromard respectively in Gaelic Football.
