Jye Bolton Biography

Jye Bolton hopes a spike in interest since his second Sandover Medal triumph materialises into an AFL lifeline as clubs search for more readymade talent available in state leagues.

Since becoming just the 14th multiple Sandover winner, Bolton has met with five clubs.

"I've probably spoken to the most clubs I have in around about five years, or probably ever," Bolton said.

"I'm not sure if that's got something to do with the success of some mature-age recruits in the last year or two who have really helped teams come on and get into a better position - that's probably assisted.

"I'm holding out hope someone gives me a chance, although you don't really know until draft day."

Claremont midfielder Jye Bolton has become the most decorated current-day player in the west, winning his second Sandover Medal on Monday night and raising prospects of an AFL draft lifeline.

After winning in 2016, Bolton became the first dual winner since Allistair Pickett (2002 and 2004) and the 14th player to salute multiple times.

Former Collingwood rookie Jye Bolton wins the Sandover Medal and hopes his triumph will open the door back to an AFL club.

"I would love nothing more than to have another opportunity to play at the highest level," Bolton said.

"I want to play as high as I can for as long as I can. So if someone was to give me that opportunity I would grab it with both hands.

"I would go anywhere around the country in a heartbeat if someone gives me the chance to play in the AFL."
