West Coast has delisted fringe utility Jamaine Jones after five season amongst a list of confirmed and potential movements from the club.

On Wednesday, the Eagles confirmed Jones, alongside 13-gamer and Swan Districts product Zane Trew, and untried Next Generation Academy graduate Jordyn Baker would not be offered contracts for 2025.

The departures came on the same day West Coast announced veteran forward Jack Darling had formally requested a trade to North Melbourne.

Jones, a Barkindji man, played 59 games for the Eagles since arriving to the club from Geelong as a supplementary draft pickup in March of 2020.

He arrived at the Cats via the preseason draft in 2017, playing his seven games in hoops across the 2018 season.

The 25-year-old made a career-high 19 appearances in the 2022 season, with a career-high haul of coming the previous year from 15 games.

Injury interrupted Jones' later stages at the Eagles, but played the bulk of the second half of this year.

His tenure in the West resulted in just 13 wins, five from the previous three seasons.

"We would like to thank Zane, Jamaine and Jordyn for their efforts throughout their time with us," West Coast general manager of football Gavin Bell said.

"They have each made valuable contributions to the West Coast Eagles and on behalf of the club I would like to wish them every success in the future."
