Josh Schache has joined the Western Bulldogs in a last minute deal after the Club sent picks 25 and 40 to the Brisbane Lions in exchange for the 20-year old key forward.

Schache joins the Dogs after 27 games and two seasons at the Lions after he was taken with the second overall pick at the 2015 NAB AFL Draft.

The former Murry Bushranger won the Larke Medal after kicking 24 goals during the 2015 NAB AFL Under-18 championships.
