New to Kayo?“I came to this club while I was still in high school and couldn’t have asked for a better place to grow, both as a footballer and a person,” Battle said in the Saints’ statement.
“The club has been fantastic throughout this entire process and I leave so grateful for the support they’ve shown both my family and I. The 2016 second-round pick’s intercepting influence has grown as he has developed in St Kilda colours, with his 2.6 average intercept marks categorised as above average in comparison with fellow AFL key defenders — five intercept grabs against Brisbane in Round 21 was his best return this season.
