GIANTS veteran Lachlan Keeffe will represent the orange and charcoal for another season after signing a new one-year deal with the club.

Joining the club ahead of the 2018 season after seven seasons with Collingwood, Keeffe has played 76 games across the past seven seasons with the GIANTS.

The athletic 204cm utility has continued to play crucial roles across the past seven seasons with the GIANTS, providing the side with strong contributions as a key defender, back-up ruck and tall forward.

After playing 14 games in 2023, Keeffe played the majority of the 2024 season performing strongly in the VFL before breaking through to the AFL side for the final five games of the season, including the club’s Qualifying Final and Semi-Final.

With his new contract, Keeffe will now enter a 15^th AFL season in 2025.

GIANTS Executive General Manager of Football, Jason McCartney, said the club is pleased to offer Keeffe another contract.

“Lachlan is a much-loved member of our group and someone who offers us great flexibility and versatility with his ability to play a number of roles,” McCartney said.

“Lachlan showed this season throughout the VFL that he was more than ready to step up to AFL level when required and then when that chance came later in the season he really contributed and made the most of those opportunities once again.

“We know exactly what we are going to get out of Lachie and we know that in 2025 he’ll contribute in a meaningful way on and off the field.”
