Williamstown has added another big man with the signing of former Brisbane Lion and Melbourne Demon Tom Fullarton for next year’s Victorian Football League season.
Standing at 200 centimetres tall, Fullarton bring six years of AFL experience and 21 AFL games to his name.
An elite cross-sport athlete, Fullarton began his sporting career on the basketball court, representing the Brisbane Bullets in the NBL before switching to Australian Rules in 2018.
Recruited as a category B rookie by Brisbane, he quickly rose through the ranks of the Lions Academy, making his AFL debut in 2020.
Over four seasons with the Brisbane Lions, Fullarton developed into a mobile tall who could impact contests as both a forward and ruck option before crossing to Melbourne ahead of the 2024 season, where he continued to refine his game, earning his Demons debut in the same year.
The Seagulls said Fullarton brings valuable AFL experience and elite athleticism to their forward line and ruck stocks and together with Braydon Preuss and Kallan Dawson, both fresh off AFL lists, adds significant size and key-tall flexibility to the Williamstown line up.
“Tom’s an elite athlete who’s proven he can compete at the highest level,” Williamstown football operations general manager Ash Collins said.
“His work ethic and experience from two AFL programs make him an outstanding addition to our squad.”
Meanwhile, the Seagulls have announced Yarraville Seddon’s Daniel Snell had signed with the club.
Snell played 15 games for the Eagles this season and kicked 21 goals.
