Troubled Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is set to rejuvenate his AFL career on the Gold Coast, with the player and senior club officials meeting at the club on Thursday morning as he takes another step towards football redemption.<\/p>\n

Ugle-Hagan\u2019s contract, however, will be heavily incentivised and will also include behavioural clauses, which will give the Suns an option to terminate his deal at the club\u2019s discretion, after the player\u2019s year-long battle with well -documented off-field problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Competition sources not willing to speak publicly about contract negotiations have confirmed to this masthead that Ugle-Hagan will fly from Melbourne to the Gold Coast on Thursday morning and is booked in for a medical at the club.<\/p>\n

Although a trade and a potential payout with the Bulldogs will have to be finalised in the coming days, all parties have agreed that Ugle-Hagan will be a Suns player by the end of the trade period.<\/p>\n

Ugle-Hagan\u2019s contract<\/a> is set to be a heavily incentivised two-year deal, with a minimal amount guaranteed.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old\u2019s playing wage in 2026 will look closer to what he was being paid in his first season after being taken at pick one in the 2020 national draft.<\/p>\n

He will, however, have the ability to earn substantially more based on games played, goals kicked and best-and-fairest results.<\/p>\n

Suns defender Connor Budarick is expected to join the Bulldogs in the trade period. However, it remains unclear if he will be part of the deal to land Ugle-Hagan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Troubled Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is set to rejuvenate his AFL career on the Gold Coast, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-198708","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
