SANFL club Woodville-West Torrens have signed former Brisbane and Adelaide midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen for the remainder of the 2022 season.

The 29-year-old departed the Lions prior to the start of the AFL season due to his hesitancy to receive a mandated COVID-19 vaccine, with Brisbane forced to place Ellis-Yolmen on their inactive list.

After featuring in the QAFL for Labrador in continuing to play football, Ellis-Yolmen has returned to South Australia in linking up with the Eagles for the back-end of this season.

The SANFL recently eased their vaccine policy in May, opening the chance for Ellis-Yolmen to reunite with his former state league side.

Woodville-West Torrens chief executive Luke Powell stated his delight to have the 48-time AFL gamer return to Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

"We are continually monitoring our AFL listed players and I have had constant dialogue with Cameron since the day he had to step away from the AFL," Powell said.

"With the SANFL recently relaxing the Vaccine mandate and with Cameron’s ambition to continually play football at the highest level, we are delighted to have another Eagles junior back in our Football program.

"Cameron will have an immediate impact in making our playing group better and he will be a huge asset to our Club going forward”.

The Eagles currently sit sixth on the SANFL ladder after 12 matches, placed with a 7-5 record with six matches remaining in their 2022 campaign.

Ellis-Yolmen will join ex-AFL talent in Jimmy Toumpas, Dylan Clarke, Riley Knight, Connor Ballenden, Troy Menzel, Daniel Menzel, Clay Cameron and Kobe Mutch.

He expressed his eight in linking up with the Eagles as they push for a finals placing.

“I am excited to be back to where it all started, keen to get amongst the SANFL competition and get back to playing in the closest level under the AFL," Ellis-Yolmen said.

"It’s great to also be back in Adelaide and be with family and friends after being on the east coast for a while.

"This has been such a quick decision but I think the best decision for me to still show I can still play at a high level. I really appreciate the opportunity the Eagles, Powelly and Sheeds have given me."

Woodville-West Torrens will host the Port Adelaide Magpies at home on Saturday, with the match to commence at 2:40pm.
