Former Derry minor football star Callum Brown has agreed a new three-year deal with AFL side GWS Giants.

Signed as a Category B rookie in 2018, Brown set new career-highs in 2023 in both games played (19) and goals (19) to firmly establish himself in coach Adam Kingsley’s best 22. He backed that up in 2024 with another strong campaign, kicking 17 goals across 13 matches and continuing to provide a consistent threat inside forward 50.

“Callum’s journey is one of the great success stories from where he’s come from to now being a really solid contributor to our side,” said the Giants' Executive General Manager of Football, Jason McCartney.

“He arrived at the club as a teenager from Ireland with very little exposure to AFL, but what he’s achieved through his work ethic, commitment and natural ability has been remarkable.

“He’s playing some really good footy at the moment and hitting the scoreboard for us which adds another dynamic to our forward line.

“We know he’s got great capability to provide a real X-factor and it’s pleasing to have him locked away for another three years.”
