South Australian midfielder Jackson Hately will play in orange and charcoal in 2019 after being selected by the GIANTS with pick 14 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft in Melbourne on Thursday.
A tall and strong-bodied midfielder, Hately can also play across the half-forward line.
Hately reads the game well and has shown at all levels that he can find plenty of the ball. He won All Australian selection for his form thanks to his performances in the Under 18’s championships for South Australia.
“Character and consistency are critical considerations for our picks and Jackson is right up there in both these areas,” GIANTS National Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso said.
“He adds real flexibility to our list.”
