St Kilda has selected 19-year-old Jack Mayo with pick No. 8 in the mid-season rookie draft.

The 194cm West Australian has impressed in the last 18 months, kicking 50 goals in the WAFL Colts (Western Australian Under 18 competition) last year and playing good senior football with Subiaco so far this season.

“We’re really excited to add Jack to our list,” St Kilda List Manager James Gallagher said.

“We’ve tracked him pretty closely since he missed out on the draft last year and have been really impressed with what we’ve seen.

“Jack’s a mobile, hard-running forward with clean hands, a long left foot kick and the ability to play at both ends.

“We think he’ll really complement what we have already at the club and at only 19, still has a lot of improvement in his game.”
