EX-BRISBANE midfielder Tom Joyce will begin training at West Coast next week, joining the 16 players still looking to earn a spot on an AFL list under pre-season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP) rules.

The Eagles have announced that Joyce, who was delisted by the Lions last season after three years without a senior game, will begin training with the club next Monday.

He will do so alongside former Fremantle ruckman Luke Strnadica, overlooked East Perth draft hopeful Kade Dittmar and 20-year-old midfielder Logan Young, who are all vying for one SSP spot at West Coast.

Nine clubs currently have at least one rookie spot available to fill via SSP rules. These include Carlton, Essendon, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Sydney and West Coast.

The Bombers and Saints each have two list spots available, with clubs able to either sign players now under SSP rules or keep a list vacancy available for the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
