Hugh Wilkins
It has been a turbulent period for the former No. 1 Draft Pick, who is yet to play in 2025. He has trained infrequently and has publicly shirked his duties to the Western Bulldogs, impacting his relations with the football club and his teammates.
His estrangement with the Bulldogs could be seen publicly, choosing to attend an NBL game during the Western Bulldogs’ 100 Year Anniversary match against Collingwood.
Resultantly, Ugle-Hagan has compassionately been granted personal leave by the club earlier today.
In a statement released by Western Bulldogs Executive Manager Sam Power, the decision was mutually decided in consultation with Ugle-Hagan, his family and the Western Bulldogs.
Power reiterates the Western Bulldogs’ commitment to Ugle-Hagan’s “health and wellbeing”.
“We will continue to support Jamarra throughout this period” concludes Power.
Ultimately, this highlights an incredibly messy saga concerning Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, whose future at the Western Bulldogs remains to be seen.
