The Carlton Blues have won the sweepstakes for retired Power legend Travis Boak, bringing in the 387-gamer into the club in an off-field role, according to AFL Media's Josh Gabelich.
Carlton discussed football department roles with the 387-game Power legend in September, with the confirmed move seeing Boak join former Port Adelaide footy boss Chris Davies at Ikon Park.
Gabelich stated that Boak was weighing up roles at Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs, but the two in-state rivals were ultimately beat out by Carlton to claim Boak's knowledge and specialities in an off-field capacity.
Boak said following his final game he'd like to return to sporting circles in some capacity, whether that's in a performance-coaching space or in the areas of corporate and business.
Boak's arrival at Carlton sees him take on a leadership and culture role at the club, returning to Victoria for the first time since he was drafted to the Power in 2006.
His addition is the latest change to the Blues' off-field departments. The club announced earlier this month their revamped coaching structure, which saw them add an additional midfield coach to better support senior coach Michael Voss.
