GREATER Western Sydney midfielder Jack Steele has requested a trade to St Kilda.

The tough on-baller has officially informed the Giants he wants a move to the Saints after playing 17 games and kicking nine goals across the past two years.

Steele was selected at pick No.24 in the 2014 National Draft.

It is unclear what St Kilda is prepared to give up for Steele but he will likely command a second round pick, the Saints have picks No.10 and No.47 in next month’s draft but could use a second-round choice from next year’s lottery to satisfy GWS.

“Jack has indicated he wants to join St Kilda and we believe he would be a great addition to our list,” Chief Operating Officer Ameet Bains said. “

“The club will work closely with both Greater Western Sydney and Jack’s management to ensure we can come to a suitable trade arrangement.”

In a statement, Greater Western Sydney said: “The Giants will now endeavour to complete a trade that is beneficial for the club. The club wishes Jack all the best for the future.”
