"Sacked St Kilda recruit Andrew Lovett is set to resume his Australian Rules playing career in a fortnight after agreeing to join Western Australian club East Perth.
East Perth, who beat several VFL rivals to secure Lovett, hopes the nippy midfielder will suit up for their May 29 WAFL clash with South Fremantle at Medibank Stadium.
Lovett, who was sacked by St Kilda in February after he was charged with rape, started his career with East Perth Royals before being snapped up by Essendon via the AFL's rookie draft.
The 27-year-old played 88 games for the Bombers before being offloaded to St Kilda for pick No.16 in the national draft.
Lovett, who is facing two rape charges, is involved in ongoing legal proceedings with St Kilda, the AFL and members of the AFL's grievance tribunal.
While Lovett will technically remain on St Kilda's list until the end of the season, he was cleared to play in State ranks by the AFL, the players' union and his club.
He is expected to officially sign with East Perth on Monday."
-So if he gets found not guilty for the two rape charges do we look at him for next year. Quality player but is it too soon after Ben Cousins to have another high profile player with a troubling past. I would be happy to have him. 27yo could get 4 years around the same time we're looking at having a premiership window open up.
Thoughts?
