Carlton's VFL club has announced the signing of former two-club AFL player Darcy Tucker, who was delisted by North Melbourne at the end of 2025.
Tucker began his senior career at Fremantle after being drafted with Pick 27 in 2015. He played 108 matches across seven campaigns before returning to Victoria.
The classy left-footer added another 48 games to his name in the royal blue and white.
Blues VFL coach Damian Truslove said that Tucker was the exact player the club was "targeting" in the off-season, and will add valuable experience and knowledge to the team.
"We couldn't be happier that Darcy has decided to commit to our program and call IKON Park home in 2026," Truslove said.
"The impact that Darcy has had in his early weeks at Carlton he's been instant. With over 150 games of AFL experience, he brings so much to the group with his knowledge of the game and what it takes to make an impact at the elite level.
"He's someone who's really versatile and has shown at AFL level that he can play a number of roles, no matter what the coaches give him. He runs really hard, is a penetrating left-foot kick and plays the game in a really unselfish way.
"We've been really targeted with the profile of players we've gone after this off-season, and Darcy is just the start. We're really excited about how 2026 is shaping up, and we see Darcy playing a pivotal role for us going forward."
Carlton finished 13th in 2025, sitting two games outside the top 10.
