SEAN LEMMENS will depart Alberton as a Gold Coast player after the young Port Adelaide SANFL star was drafted by the Suns in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft.

Lemmens will join the Suns after they used pick 27 to secure him in the second round of Thursday night's draft.

He becomes the first Magpie to be taken by the league's second-newest franchise.

Review all of Port Adelaide's selections in the 2013 AFL Draft

Having played throughout the 2013 season as part of Port Adelaide's senior SANFL sides and the South Australian Under-18 team, Lemmens becomes the latest in a long list of Magpie talents to enter the national competition.

Port's SANFL Football Manager Scott Peters told portadelaidefc.com.au Lemmens had a breakout year which led to his League debut in the final round of the 2013 season.

"Sean is an outstanding young man, who is highly respected at our football club," said Peters.

"He joined the Magpies from local club Salisbury back in 2007 where he played in the Under-13s and progressed steadily through the grades and began playing senior footy with the reserves in 2012.

"This year was a breakout year for Sean, starting with solid form in the reserves.

"He got an opportunity to play for South Australia in the Under-18s National Championships where he performed solidly across half back. The Championships gave Sean enormous confidence and upon his return to the Magpies, played some outstanding games culminating with his league debut in Round 23.

"Everyone at the club wishes Sean all the best in the next exciting phase of his career."

Port Adelaide was the club of origin for the first ever VFL/AFL draft pick, Martin Leslie, in 1986.

portadelaidefc.com.au will have comprehensive coverage of the pre-season and rookie drafts next Wednesday.
