BEN COUSINS has taken a major step towards rekindling his AFL career by registering with Port Melbourne in the Victorian Football League.
Cousins, who was last year sacked by West Coast and suspended by the AFL for one year for bringing the game into disrepute amid his battle with drug addiction, had to nominate with the VFL by Monday to be able to play in that competition this year.
Although he currently has no plans to play in the second-tier competition, training with a VFL club will help Cousins maintain his physical condition if he decides to re-launch his AFL career by nominating for this year\'s national draft.
The VFL approved Cousins\' application, and Port welcomed the 2005 Brownlow Medallist into the fold.
