Sydney speedster Gary Rohan is looking to head back home to Geelong, and could join the Cats during the upcoming trade period.

Rohan played for the Geelong Falcons during his TAC Cup days, and was selected with the sixth pick in the 2009 draft by the Swans.

The 27-year-old wants to be closer to his extended family according to the Herald Sun, after tragedy struck the Rohan's earlier this season.

He and his wife lost a twin daughter.

In the past, Rohan has been rumoured to have been interested in a move back home, although it looks as though this trade period could be the one to see him link back up with Geelong.
