PORT Adelaide forward John Butcher has reached out to stranded teammate Ben Jacobs, who was unable to find a new home during the trade period.

Butcher says Jacobs – who wanted to be traded to North Melbourne – would be welcomed back by the playing group should he decide to return to Alberton.

"I gave him a few calls before his decision to go back and he told me the reasons why he wanted to go back,'' Butcher revealed.

"You could understand those reasons from his point of view. I've already sent him a message post the trade not going through and I'm pretty keen to have a chat with him on the phone.

"I think a lot of boys have been in contact since the trade period as we will all welcome him back with open arms. We'd love to get him back because he's going to be a pretty handy footballer.''

Jacobs, a first-round draft pick, sought a return to Victoria due to family reasons, with his girlfriend moving back to Melbourne earlier this year.

He must now take his chances through the national or pre-season draft should he choose not to continue with the Power.
