Giants want trade away

GREATER Western Sydney defender Nathan Wilson was one of three Giants to request an AFL trade yesterday.

Wilson’s manager informed the club he wants to play for Fremantle, to be closer to his Western Australian family, while Devon Smith and Matthew Kennedy are seeking greater playing opportunities.

“We are sympathetic to Nathan’s situation and we understand Devon and Matt’s wish to explore opportunities during the trade period,” Giants football boss Wayne Campbell said.

Wilson, who is contracted to the end of next season, played in the Giants’ first AFL match in 2012 after he was taken as one of the eligible 17year-olds available to the club.
