Jarryd Roughead will return to the Hawthorn line-up ahead of its clash with St Kilda on Sunday.

Roughead was a late omission from the side that took on North Melbourne last week after suffering a corked thigh the day before the game.

The former captain is set to achieve AFL Life Membership this weekend, as he runs out for his 300th official AFL outing comprising of 277 premiership games, 21 pre-season games and one international game.

GM – Football Graham Wright said Roughead was excited to re-join the side after a minor hiccup last week.

“Jarryd was disappointed to have had to pull out of the game against North Melbourne,” Wright said.

“He’s worked hard to get himself up for this week and he’s raring to go.

“Hopefully we can continue our momentum after a strong performance last week.”

Midfielder Daniel Howe is in line to make his first senior appearance of the season after being named in the Hawks’ extended squad.

Howe played 17 games for the Hawks last year, averaging a career-high 17.8 disposals per game.

Defensive pair Teia Miles and Kaiden Brand have also been added to the squad as they too seek to break into the senior side.

The final team of 22 will be announced at 5pm on Friday.
