Jake Stringer Set to Join St Kilda Ahead of 2027 AFL Season

Jake Stringer is anticipated to join St Kilda as he continues his AFL career, following his release from GWS. This move is expected to take place ahead of the 2027 season.

Stringer, who scored 48 goals during his second season with the Giants, remained optimistic about finding a new team. St Kilda's interest in him aligns with coach Ross Lyon's efforts to enhance the team's scoring capabilities, particularly with concerns regarding key forward Max King's health.

Reports suggest that St Kilda is likely to pursue Stringer, who previously played for the Western Bulldogs and Essendon. He began his career with the Bulldogs, contributing to their 2016 premiership and earning All-Australian honors in 2015. After a successful stint with Essendon, Stringer was released in 2024, leading to his signing with GWS, where he became the club's leading goal scorer this year.
