COLLINGWOOD'S VFL captain, Kris Pendlebury, hopes a move to Werribee will enhance his AFL draft prospects next season.

Pendlebury, 26, has informed the Pies he will leave the club after five seasons, including three as skipper.

The brother of superstar midfielder Scott, Pendlebury was overlooked again in this year's drafts, despite some interest from Collingwood and St Kilda.

Instead, the Pies opted for another key defender from the VFL, Williamstown's Jack Frost.

Pendlebury was named full-back in the 2012 VFL team of the year.

After 93 VFL games, Pendlebury yesterday told the Herald Sun he still wanted to play AFL.

"I had done everything I could to get noticed (at Collingwood) but it wasn't happening," he said.

"So I wanted to go to a successful club like Werribee.

"The Western Bulldogs drafted Brett Goodes at age 28, so you never know what's around the corner."
