PERTH Football Club will lose star utility Jarrod Kayler Thomson to Hawthorn.
The mature-age rookie will make the switch next season.
Kayler Thomson, who was born in 1985, was recruited from Newtown to join the Perth Demons in 2005.
His career with the team resulted in over 86 games with the Demons and his accolades include the Vince Pendal Award for Best Clubman in 2009.
The news follows another milestone for the club after the Perth Demons won their December 12-a-side event.
