He played two games in 2017, and just seven since 2013, due to persistent injuries.

Trengove was named as Melbourne’s captain in 2012, becoming the youngest club captain in VFL/AFL history at 20 years and 181 days old.

Trengove joins Tom Rockliff, Steven Motlop, Jack Watts, and Trent McKenzie as the Power’s recruits this off-season.
