Former Derry underage star Callum Brown is extending his stay with the Great Western Sydney Giants.

The 22-year-old has signed a new two-year deal with the Giants who he joined three years ago. He has made 19 AFL appearances to date, having established himself as a regular starter in attack this season and kicking four goals in his last seven games.

“I arrived here as a teenager in a new country to learn a brand new game and even though it’s my fifth year, it still feels like a whirlwind adventure,” Brown said in a club statement.

“The Giants are my home and it’s been a really exciting season so far under a new coach in Adam. Everyone is really clear on their roles and I’m just excited to be able to play my part and for the team to get some wins over the past month.

“It was a super easy decision to re-sign and I’m really excited to continue to work on my game and hopefully there’s some really exciting times to come.”

The news quashes hopes of Brown returning to play with Derry any time soon. He was one of the stars of the Oak Leaf minor team that reached the All-Ireland final in 2017, only to lose heavily to a David Clifford-inspired Kerry team.
