Giants captain Toby Greene has confirmed that he will leave the club after a 15‑year tenure to join the Geelong Football Club. The move ends his career with the expansion side, where he has been a key player since the club’s inception.
Greene, an unrestricted free agent, has agreed to a three‑year contract with the Cats. The deal will see him reunite on the field with former teammate Jeremy Cameron, who also transferred to Geelong in recent seasons.
The announcement was made public by former Giants chief executive Dave Matthews during a broadcast on SEN on Thursday morning. Matthews said Greene’s decision was driven by personal considerations.
According to the statement, Greene will relocate back to Victoria for family reasons, indicating that the move is motivated by factors outside of football. The relocation will place him in the state where he began his AFL career.
Greene’s departure marks the end of a significant era for the Giants, who have relied on his leadership and on‑field contributions throughout his time with the club. His transition to Geelong adds further experience to the Cats’ roster ahead of the upcoming season.
