Port Adelaide star Jason Horne-Francis has confirmed he caught up with out-of-contract St Kilda player Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.
Horne-Francis and Wanganeen-Milera are close mates, and fellow Power player Jase Burgoyneย was also in attendance.
The trio were photographed enjoying Yo-Chi on Tuesday evening.
The Saints are currently enjoying a week off as part of their mid-season bye, with the 22-year-old opting to return to South Australia.
"Jase Burgoyne sent me this within four minutes of it being posted, and we started cracking up laughing," Horne-Francis said on Triple M Breakfast with Roo, Ditts & Loz.
"We're three best mates. We always catch up. Whenever Naz is back... we caught up last night.
"We caught up the other night": Jason Horne-Francis responds to reports he and Jase Burgoyne have been 'recruiting' Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera ๐ณ

"He's not giving us much."
Wanganeen-Milera is being heavily courted by both South Australian clubs, while the Saints are also adamant they'll manage to keep the smooth-moving half-back.
It is understood that Adelaide is prepared to offer around $1.2 million a season over eight years, whilst the Power have also considered monster deals to lure him home.
It would appear that the Alberton club does have the edge over its arch rivals if Wanganeen-Milera were to consider a move to South Australia.
Being close friends with Horne-Francis and Burgoyne could hold significant sway in his consideration, as it did Jack Lukosius when he departed Gold Coast last year.
Lukosius' relationship with Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee played a major role in luring the swingman.
However, the Saints are reportedly prepared to match any offers from the pair of rivals for Wanganeen-Milera, with theย Herald Sun revealing the Moorabbin club is willing to pay up to $10 million to keep him.
