The Carlton Football Club wishes to advise that Sam Jacobs has requested a trade to the Adelaide Crows during the upcoming exchange period.

Jacobs has played 17 AFL matches for Carlton since making his debut in Round 1, 2009. He was recruited to the Club from Androssan via Woodville-West Torrens in the 2007 Rookie Draft.

“While disappointed with Sam’s decision to return back to South Australia,  the Club will now commence discussions with the Adelaide Crows to enable a suitable exchange.” Carlton’s General Manager Football Operations Steven Icke said.
