Key forward Josh Walker and young midfielder Jarrad Jansen have signed with the Brisbane Lions.

The two Geelong Cats have signed with the Lions in exchange for a future third round pick.

Walker, 22, has penned a three-year deal after being a good contributor with the Cats in 2015, kicking 19 goals in 16 matches. He has played 33 senior games in total since his debut in 2012.

Walker, 196cm and 99kg, will provide a mature-bodied presence up forward for a Lions team that lacked targets at times in 2015.

He claimed a career-high 18 disposals in Round 16 this season and recorded a career-high five goals against the Lions in Round 18.

Jansen, 192cm and 93kg, was taken by the Cats at Pick No.36 in the 2013 National Draft, the same year as the Lions’ rising young stars Lewy Taylor, Dan McStay, Jono Freeman, Darcy Gardiner, Tom Cutler and Nick Robertson.

Jansen, from East Fremantle, did not play a senior game for the Cats but was named as an emergency last year and finished runner-up in the Cats' VFL best and fairest.  Jansen signed a two-year deal.

Lions List Manager Peter Schwab said it was a great outcome to acquire both Walker and Jansen.

“Josh is an older player and has played alongside Tom Hawkins as the second key forward. It’s a bonus for us to get a player at his age, who is in his prime,” said Schwab.

“Jarrad has some real potential so it’s a great opportunity for him, and also for us to see how he develops.”

The news coincides with the Brisbane Lions 2016 membership launch, which kicked off today.
