Joel Amartey set to leave Sydney for Carlton as free agent
Summary

Joel Amartey is poised to join Carlton after deciding to leave Sydney, where he is a free agent. The 26-year-old forward, who played 15 games this season, was not selected for Sydney's recent preliminary final against Fremantle. He has struggled with injuries, including an Achilles issue that sidelined him since Round 17. Amartey was a key player during Sydney’s 2024 Grand Final run, scoring 42 goals, but has faced challenges since then. His next move to Carlton is expected to happen next month.
