JACK Silvagni will join St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent.
Silvagni informed Carlton last week of his attention to move from the Blues for next season.
Having attracted interest from both Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs, Silvagni has landed on the Saints as his new home.
Silvagni was the third generation of his family to play VFL/AFL football for Carlton, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Sergio, and father Stephen, who works at St Kilda in list management.
He joined the Blues as a father-son selection at the 2015 AFL Draft and played 128 games and kicked 89 goals in a career that has been interrupted by injury in recent seasons, including a ruptured ACL that cost him the entire 2024 campaign.
In a statement released last week, Silvagni thanked Carlton for his 10 years at the club.
“Whilst the decision was not easy to leave the football club, I felt the time was right to explore another opportunity,” Silvagni said.

“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at the club for their support during my time there, I sincerely appreciate the opportunity this club has given me and my family.”
The 2025 AFL Free Agency Period runs from Friday, October 3 until Friday, October 10.
“We’re very pleased that Jack has nominated St Kilda as the club where he wishes to continue his career,” said Saints footy boss David Misson.
“As Jack is an unrestricted free agent, he will be entitled to accept our offer once formally submitted during the free agency window in October. We need to respect this process.
“With the official player movement period still several weeks away, we will not be commenting further at this time.
