New Swan Sofia Hurley in the red and white at the AFLW Draft.

Sofia Hurley

Club/State: Victoria - Sandringham Dragons

Height: 166cm

DOB: 30-01-2004

Position: Midfield

Hurley is a determined and speedy midfielder who runs hard all day and contributes going both ways. The Sandringham Dragons product won the Dragons Best and Fairest and was also awarded AFLW Academy honours, as well as repeat Vic Metro representation. Her strengths lie in the midfield with a huge work rate and crafty stoppage exits, but she can also roll forward to good effect.

Sydney Swans Coach Scott Gowans said:

“Sof is a fast outside midfielder with great skills and awareness,” Gowans said.

“She has the ability to find both the footy and ID space. We expect Sofia to play on the flanks and wings, and we believe she will also be able to drift forward and hit the scoreboard. Her 2km time trial demonstrates her athletic abilities and she will be a key part to our growth as a team for many years to come.”
