West Coast defender Sharrod Wellingham is set to return for Saturday's AFL clash with Sydney at the SCG.

Wellingham missed the start of the season because of an ongoing knee issue, but he made a successful return in the WAFL last week.

West Coast coach Adam Simpson also confirmed Matt Priddis would return after missing last week's win over Richmond because of a groin injury.
