Star Dockers forward ruled out for the rest of the season

Fremantle forward Jesse Hogan won’t play again this year after scumming to a persistent foot injury.

He suffered a recurrence of an injury to the navicular bone in his right foot he sustained last year.

“(Jesse) will undergo surgery and then undertake a recovery and rehabilitation program with an estimated time frame, at this stage, of 16 weeks,” Fremantle football boss Peter Bell said in a statement on Friday.

Hogan moved from Melbourne to Fremantle at the end of last season.

He played 12 games for the Dockers this year.
