Ethan Hughes lost no fans in his debut against Port Adelaide in round 23 and he wants to turn that sniff of AFL into more games in 2016.

The 21-year-old was upgraded onto the club’s senior list last month due to an impressive 2015, after coming to the club at pick 13 in the Rookie Draft last year.

He was among the best on ground in his debut with 22 touches including eight marks and consistently performed for Peel Thunder in the WAFL.

The WA product said he wanted to come back bigger and stronger in 2016.

“I want to get into our pre-season program and hit the year in full flight,” he said.

“I want to keep building my fitness and my tank.

“I want to develop everything I can with my football.

“Come the season, I want to be ready go.”

Fremantle general manager of player management Brad Lloyd said Hughes had earned his call-up to the senior list.

“Ethan really advanced well last year playing for Peel and deserves a place on the primary list next year,” he said.
 
“He is a good size and a good athlete, and showed his potential at the elite level in his debut against Port Adelaide in round 23.”
