has settled on St Kilda as his new home and will nominate the Saints as his preferred destination.

He follows Carlton free agents Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni in being lured to the Saints.

Ryan told West Coast at the end of the Eagles' season that he would be exploring his trade options with a year to run on his contract, but didn't specify a club.

After undergoing medical assessment this week with the Saints, Ryan has decided on St Kilda and will pursue a trade to the club, with a three-year deal on the table.
