Essendon ruckman Tom Bellchambers is reportedly set to return to the Bombers in 2017.
The Herald Sun has reported that Bellchambers' manager Shane Casley, believes his client will stay at the club.
“Tommy has been doing some training with the group. It’s good for him to freshen up a bit,” Casley told the Herald Sun.
“We will sit down over the next month or so and have a chat about where his head is at.
“He has had opportunities to leave and he’s been very loyal. My gut feel is that wouldn’t change now.”
Heath Hocking is so far the only one of the 12 current banned Essendon players who has re-committed to the club for 2017.
Bellchambers has played 79 games in eight seasons with the Bombers.
