CONTROVERSIAL Gold Coast midfielder Harley Bennell has joined Fremantle on a three-year deal.
The Suns received the Dockers' first-round (No.16) and second-round (No.35) picks in exchange for Bennell and the Suns' second-round pick (No.22).
Bennell said he was delighted to be heading back to his native WA, and promised to "knuckle down".
"I'm excited about returning home to WA and joining Fremantle," he told the club's website.
"I want to thank the Gold Coast for drafting me and the support they have offered me during my time at the club.
"My main focus now is to knuckle down and have a solid pre-season over the coming months."
Fremantle's general manager of player management, Brad Lloyd, said club officials, including coach Ross Lyon, had met with Bennell several times over the past few weeks.
Bennell has also met with the player leadership group.
