WEST Coast rookie addition Jamie Bennell doesn't have to look far for inspiration as he begins his bid for promotion onto the club's senior list.

Twelve months ago former Collingwood forward Brad Dick was in exactly the same position after being rookie-listed by the Eagles while recovering from a knee reconstruction.

Dick was upgraded at the end of the season after making a successful return from injury for East Fremantle.

"He was in the same situation as me basically and is onto the senior list now after playing some good footy in the WAFL so hopefully I can follow in his footsteps," Bennell said.

The former Melbourne utility, who is five months into rehab following his knee reconstruction, said he was aiming to make a WAFL return in the "first half of the year hopefully".

"I'm only 22 years of age so I've still got a lot to offer to this side," he said.

"I'll focus on my knee at the moment and then we'll go from there.

"I've finally made it back here to play for the team I grew up barracking for, so it is a dream come true.

"They've rated me since '08, so you always feel a lot better when you know a club really rates you highly."
