First-round draftee Darcy Jones has signed a new two-year extension with the GIANTS, keeping him at the club until the end of 2026. 

Jones, who is currently recovering from an ACL injury suffered in March, has ensured he’ll be in the orange and charcoal for the first four years of his career after being drafted to the club last November. 

The 19-year-old West Australian was selected with the final pick of the first round, pick 21, after an impressive junior career. 

A dangerous small forward with lightning speed, Jones showed some exciting pre-season form before his injury. 

GIANTS General Manager of Football Jason McCartney said the club is thrilled to extend Jones’ contract. 

“We’re really excited to know Darcy will be in the orange and charcoal for another two years,” he said. 

“He’s come in with a great attitude and work ethic and the form he showed on the training track across pre-season was super exciting.  

“He brings speed and goal sense to our side and he’s working hard in his rehabilitation and looking forward to the next pre-season. 

“All our draftees have fit in seamlessly at the club with Darcy the third of last year’s draft crop to have already extended their contracts with the GIANTS.”  

Jones joins fellow first-years Harry Rowston and Max Gruzewski in recently re-signing with the GIANTS.
