Former West Coast defender Luke Foley has landed at East Perth following a stint with rival WAFL club Subiaco.

The switch comes after a pair of seasons with the Lions, however the most recent saw Foley spend the entire year on the sidelines with injury.

The 26-year-old played 14 games for Subiaco in 2024 - a season that followed his delisting at the Eagles.

Foley was on West Coast's list for five seasons and played 32 games, half coming in a career-best 2022 season.

His latest career move will see Foley suit up for 2025 grand finalist East Perth next year, with the 188cm backman announced as the club's latest off-season signing.

"His addition further strengthens the credibility of our squad as we continue to build a team that's strong, consistent, and highly competitive," Royals football boss Warren Parker said.

"A big thank you to the Subiaco Football Club, for their professionalism in facilitating Luke's move."

Foley links up with ex-Eagles Hamish Brayshaw and Coby Burgiel at the Royals, among other ex-AFL names.

East Perth amassed 11 wins during the 2025 home and away season before booking their place in the season decider, where they fell to minor premiers South Fremantle by two points.
