The Western Bulldogs have secured forward Travis Cloke after agreeing to a deal with Collingwood to part with pick 76 today.

Cloke is a two-time All-Australian, Collingwood best and fairest winner, and was a member of their premiership side in 2010.

Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney said recruiting Cloke addressed an area of need.

“Acquiring another key forward was a focus for us and Travis fits that bill.

“We’ve tracked Travis closely and believe has a lot to offer with his endurance and contested marking ability, and will fit well within our current group of forwards.

“We’re really pleased to have secured Travis and look forward to his contribution next season.”

The 29-year-old played 246 games in 12 years at Collingwood after being drafted as a father-son selection in the 2004 National Draft (pick 39 overall).
