Head of football talent Brady Rawlings thanked Duursma for his time and efforts at Arden Street.

"Zane has made a valuable contribution to our club over his three seasons, and we wish him all the best with the next stage of his career.

"Since the Trade Period opened, we've had open and honest conversations with Zane and his management to ensure we worked through a fair outcome for all parties involved.

"We are happy with the deal we've struck and what we've been able to secure in return, which strengthens our hand for this trade and draft period."
