Port Melbourne Colts footy operations manager Elton Stevens said club legend Jack Love was at it again.

“We’ve been chasing him for a few years,” Stevens said.

“Jack Love has been working hard behind the scenes and with injuries and blokes going to Europe a window opened up.”

Love is also responsible for signing Hibberd and Bellchambers this season.

The Colts are in fifth on the Southern league Division 1 table with seven rounds left in the home-and-away campaign.
