The forward has moved to the Cats, with the Giants receiving a second-round compensation pick (currently No.26). 

Greene made a call on his future in mid-September after spending time agonising over his decision.

Giants' footy boss Jason McCartney said Greene had left an indelible mark on the club.

“Toby has been an incredible part of this football club for 15 years and we’ll never lose sight of what he’s given to the Giants,” McCartney said.

“While we’re disappointed that his journey with us has come to an end, we’re also incredibly proud of what he achieved and the role he played in helping build this club.

“An inaugural player at the club, Toby arrived at the Giants as a teenager and grew into a remarkable leader who not only performed at the highest level but just as importantly, he helped shape the club into what it is today.

“While again it’s difficult to see him go, we respect Toby’s decision to return home to Victoria and we thank him for the enormous contribution he made to the club.

“Toby gave us, and our members and fans, so many great memories and he’ll forever be an important part of the club’s history.” 

Cats footy boss Andrew Mackie said the club was excited to bring both Greene the player and the person to Geelong.

"Toby is a star of the competition, we have admired and respected him from afar and we’re looking forward to having him complement our current playing squad," Mackie said.

"His experience, competitiveness and capacity to elevate those around him will be a valuable addition to our group both on and off the field. We welcome Toby, his wife Georgia and daughter Isla to the club."
