No Nic Nat? No Vardy’s.

New West Coast recruit Nathan Vardy says he can’t wait to get started at his new club, as the 25 year old looks to fill the void left by injured ruckman Nic Naitanui.

Despite an injury plagued career, the Eagles sent pick 72 to the cats for the big man on the last day of this years trade period.

Vardy says ‘With a good pre season and Nab Cup, I’ll be ready to go.

‘I feel my body has really turned a corner this year.’
