“Having arrived at the club as a 17-year-old, this is the first time Jesse has expressed the desire to potentially pursue an opportunity to return home,” General Manager of football operations Josh Mahoney told Melbourne Media.
“We said we were open to this, as long as a deal was something that would benefit the Melbourne Football Club, to which Jesse was in agreeance with.
“We feel this is a trade that has not only helped Jesse and will help him going forward, but has also benefited us and allowed us to address some immediate list needs.”
