WAFL Player Movement: All the ins and outs so farTuesday, November 11, 2025 - 9:38 AM - by Jordan McArdle

We keep you up to date with all the ins and outs so far in what’s shaping up to be a massive WAFL off-season.

There’s already been some big-name signings including several ex-AFL players, headlined by former West Coast speedster Jack Petruccelle and ex-Richmond defender Jacob Blight who are both heading to Subiaco.

A former Big Bash League cricket star is also locked in for season 2026, with Clint Hinchliffe, who impressed in the Perth Football League this year, having a crack at the WAFL with Swan Districts, years after playing State 18s for WA and Colts for West Perth.
