Bulldogs make announcement on Ugle-Hagan’s immediate future

Western Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has taken an open-ended leave of absence from the club as he continues to deal with complex personal and medical issues.

The talented former top draft pick had been on a training plan at the club, but he will now step away from Whitten Oval and from training entirely as part of a medical management plan.

“Jamarra’s health and wellbeing remains the absolute priority and he will be given whatever time he needs,” said Sam Power, the club’s executive manager of men’s football.
