LUKE Jackson has today informed the Melbourne Football Club of his desire to return home to Western Australia. 

Melbourne will now work with West Coast and Fremantle to secure a suitable trade. 

Melbourne List Manager Tim Lamb said although the club was disappointed, they respected Luke’s decision.

“There is no doubt that we wanted Luke to remain at the Demons, but we respect his decision to want to return home to Western Australia to be closer to his family and friends. 

“We will now work to secure a deal that compensates the club accordingly."
