Williamstown has added another new signing ahead of its 2022 VFL season

Fraser Phillips hails from Carlton, and was on its 2020 list after being drafted in the 2019 AFL Rookie Draft.

The 20-year old did not manage a game in the senior side, but he did notch up 14 disposals with the Blues’ VFL side despite some trouble with injury.

In a statement on Williamstown’s website, Seagulls coach Justin Plapp said he sees Phillips bringing a different element to the club.

“Fraser is a quality young man who comes with AFL experience,” he said.

“His ability to use the ball and his deceptive agility will be big for us, and we see him playing a few different roles across half-forward to the wing. He brings a point of difference to our club that we wanted.”

Phillips is the fourth new signing for the Seagulls.
