Bobby Hill has reportedly informed GWS of his desire to move to Collingwood in the upcoming trade period, per reports from Callum Twomey.

Hill's move down south has been heavily speculated throughout the 2022 season, with the Giants now expecting a second round pick in exchange for the small forward.

The 22-year-old managed just 11 games this season as he battled a bout of testicular cancer, making his return to the VFL late in the season.

Hill has played 41 games in total for the Giants, drafted in 2018 with pick 24.

The young small forward had previously requested a trade to Victoria, hoping to head to the Bombers last year, but a deal was not facilitated by the club.

Hill is just one of several Giants expected to depart the club this off-season, with Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper and Tanner Bruhn all looking for new homes.
