EXPLOSIVE St Kilda youngster Daniel Markworth will miss most of the 2013 AFL season after rupturing his ACL in pre-season training.
Markworth, 20, sustained the blow to his right knee in the Saints' US altitude training camp in Colorado.
There were reports last week the goalkicker, who was close to a late-season debut, had suffered a serious knee injury in Boulder. The Saints confirmed the injury on their website last night, revealing he had been booked in for surgery this week.
Markworth is expected to undergo traditional surgery, which would sideline him until late in the 2013 season.
The highly rated 189cm forward slid to St Kilda's second pick, No.35, in the 2011 draft.
The Calder Cannons graduate impressed for VFL affiliate Sandringham this season, kicking 10 goals in 14 matches.
He was best-afield in the elimination final loss, booting three goals from 23 touches.
Meanwhile,
Saints president Greg Westaway has announced next season will be his last at the helm.Westaway announced at last night's AGM he would relinquish the role at the end of 2013.
The transport guru took over from Rod Butterss at the end of the 2007 season.
