Finally in round 18 he made his return to the senior side against Collingwood and kept his spot until the end of the home and away season. In the finals series he was a strong contributor with 9 possessions against the Blues and then saved his best game for 2009 for the match against the Bulldogs where he amassed 15 possessions and made 5 tackles. In 2010 he played a further 11 games, but also spent some time out of the senior team. He re-signed with the Lions in September 2010, [3] but was delisted at the end of the 2012 AFL season.
