Junior Clubs: East Ringwood
Debut: 2013
Recruited from: Sydney Swans
Position : Rebounding defender
Biggs, a rebounding defender, played six games in three seasons at the Swans since he was taken with pick No.13 in the 2012 rookie draft.
The former rookie draft selection was sent to the kennel in the final minutes of this year’s trade period in exchange for pick 37 that the club received from the Bombers for Adam Cooney. To make the deal even sweeter for Dogs list manager Jason McCartney was the inclusion of pick 39 in the deal from the Swans.
“I’m hoping to bring a lot of run, high work rate, and I pride myself on my skills – using the ball well off half-back.
“I’ve loved my time in Sydney, putting myself out of my comfort zone, living away from home up, and giving me the chance to play AFL football.
“But to get the chance to get back with my network of family in friends in Melbourne will mean I lot. I’m look forward to seeing more of them, and hopefully being able to play football in front of them more often.”
The former Sydney Swan is renowned for his strong work ethic and high quality ball use, he should be a welcome recruit to a new look Dogs defense that is craving for some more poise and precise delivery out of the back half of the ground.
