Geelong premiership defender Jed Bews joins West Coast's WAFL side
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 04:32 · Archive
Jed Bews, a 32-year-old former Geelong premiership backman, has signed a two-year deal to play for West Coast's WAFL reserve side. Bews made 175 appearances for Geelong, including being part of the 2022 premiership team, but could not break into the AFL this year.
Bews joins former Western Bulldogs defender Zac Walker, 20, as West Coast looks to strengthen its reserves competition. West Coast just missed out on September action this year after achieving a club record 10-win home-and-away season under coach Kyal Horsley. The club is targeting a return to finals for the first time since 2019.
Bews said: 'It's an exciting new chapter for myself over here in WA. I'm pumped and looking forward to catching up with all the guys and getting to work.' West Coast head of WAFL football Steve Trewhella said Bews's 'experience and leadership will be instrumental in the development of the West Coast Eagles WAFL program, including our younger cohort of developing players'. Walker, delisted after 18 months with Western Bulldogs, said he was 'very excited to get started' and keen to work with the team.
