The Sydney Swans have traded forward Trent Dennis-Lane to St Kilda in the final hour of the AFL Trade Period in exchange for pick 47 in the AFL Draft.

Dennis-Lane joined the Swans via pick 55 in the 2009 AFL Draft and played 19 games for 30 goals, including eight games for nine goals during the 2012 season.

The 24-year-old becomes the third player to be traded from the Sydney Swans on the final day of the Trade Period, with Matt Spangher (Hawthorn) and Campbell Heath (Port Adelaide) earlier traded in exchange for draft picks.

Sydney Swans General Manager - Football, Dean Moore said the Club was pleased to add another mid-range pick to its National Draft stocks. 

“To gain another selection inside the top 50 is a real positive heading into the National Draft,” Moore said. 

“Trent has played some good football for our Club but found it difficult to break into the senior team late in the season. We wish him all the best for his future with St Kilda."

Moore also confirmed following the conclusion of the trade period that senior listed players Brett Meredith and Nathan Gordon had both been delisted.

Meredith played 16 matches with the Swans after joining the Club via the 2007 National Draft, while Gordon - originally a NSW scholarship player - managed two games in his time with the Club, both in 2011.

“We thank both Brett and Nathan for their efforts during their time at the Swans and wish them both the very best for the future.”
