He kicked 44 goals from 33 games with the Seagulls, with a best of six against Newcomb in mid-2025.
The Blues have also welcomed home Baxter Boddington from Apollo Bay, while George Huf (Caramut/Queenscliff), Xavier Tweedly (Port Fairy) and Jacob Talarico (Ocean Grove) will call Eastern Reserve home.
They follow the previously announced signings of Jaiden Camenzuli (Pakenham), Mitch Cofield (Rutherglen), Jordan Powell (Launceston), and Nick Swain (Anglesea).
Gun midfielder Indy Parish, who has joined Natte Bealiba in the Maryborough Castlemaine District League, is the only confirmed departure.
Meanwhile, Bell Post Hill has added a pair of former Lara players among its first off-season signings.
Brodie Cambridge, who spent this year with Bellarine club Anglesea, and former Geelong Falcon Zekiah Davey have joined the Panthers
