Jake Stringer set to join St Kilda as his fourth AFL club
Jake Stringer is expected to join St Kilda, in what would be his fourth AFL club.
The move to the Melbourne club’s Moorabbin base could be announced on Monday.
Stringer left GWS after a season in which he kicked 48 goals, though a failed business venture caused tensions with teammates and coaches.
He previously played for the Western Bulldogs and Essendon.
St Kilda has been seeking more scoring power while key forward Max King is absent, and Stringer kicked several big goal tallies in 2026.
His scoring could address a need for the Saints, but the move has not yet been announced.
The next step is a possible announcement on Monday.
