Western Bulldogs forward Tom Williams will miss the remainder of the 2013 season after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Port Adelaide on Saturday.
 
Reconstructive surgery was determined the best course of action for Williams after consultation with Club medical staff during the week.
 
Chief Executive Simon Garlick said Williams had displayed resilience throughout his career to date and will bounce back from his latest set-back.
 
“While it’s disappointing for Tom, we know he will treat his recovery with the professionalism we have seen from him since he arrived at the club.
 
“Tom is a highly valued Western Bulldogs person and we look forward to seeing him ready for the commencement of pre-season training.”
