Ballarat Swans have announced the huge signing of former Hawthorn and North Melbourne star Josh Gibson for season 2021.
A Hawks premiership player in 2013, 2014 and 2015, plus an All-Australian selection in 2015, Gibson is one of the biggest names to sign up to play BFNL in recent years.
He was also twice a club best and fairest in a premiership year.
The club announced the recruit on their website on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior Coach Joe Carmody said the signing was huge for the club.

"Josh is committed to helping our young group develop at Ballarat," he said.
"He is a ripper bloke who will fit in perfectly with our group."
Now aged 36, Gibson retired from AFL after the 2017 season, having played 65 games for the Kangaroos and 160 for Hawthorn.
