The East Perth Football Club would like to formally announce that is has signed the services of ex- Brisbane Lion Jason Roe for the 2010/11 WAFL seasons.
Jason was originally rookie listed by Collingwood but delisted without making a senior appearance. He then played for North Adelaide in the SANFL where he resurrected his career and was rookie listed by Brisbane at pick 6 in 2005. After a slow start due to collarbone surgery it took only 3 games for the Brisbane Lions to elevate him to the senior list in place of injured Chris Scott.
Jason went on the play 50 games for the Lions and at 192cm he has the exciting combination of both height and speed that will add some versatility to the Royals in 2010.
League Coach Tony Micale stated that “Jason is a great acquisition to the club and his versatility to play a variety of roles as well as his AFL experience will add a lot to the squad. He is a quality person off the field as well which is something we look for in recruits and he will be able to mentor the young players we have at the Club”
