The Western Bulldogs today confirmed they have agreed to trade utility Josh Hill to the West Coast Eagles.  

In return for 22 year-old Hill, the Bulldogs will receive pick 49 - an early third round selection - in next month’s AFL National Draft.

Hill came to the Whitten Oval as a fourth round selection in the 2006 NAB AFL National Draft, making his senior debut in 2007.

Recruited from Claremont in Western Australia, Hill played 66 senior games for the Bulldogs kicking 75 goals.

An irregular starter in the Bulldogs line-up in 2011, Hill played 12 senior games.

Hill is the second Bulldog to find a new home this trade week, after midfielder Sam Reid was traded to Greater Western Sydney in return for a compensation draft pick.

Meanwhile, retired Bulldog Ben Hudson has been traded to the Brisbane Lions in return for pick 70 - a fourth round selection.
