The Sydney Swans have locked in emerging AFLW talents Imogen Brown, Sarah Grunden and Emma Juneja, with all three players signing one-year contract extensions through to the end of the 2027 season.

Brown, a QBE Sydney Swans Academy graduate, made her AFLW debut in Round 1 this year. The midfielder’s best performance came in Round 12 against Fremantle, where she recorded 12 tackles and nine disposals.

Grunden joined the Swans with pick 16 in the 2023 AFLW Draft and has gone on to play 32 games for the red and white. The 21-year-old has become a consistent contributor in Sydney’s side, featuring in every game this season, averaging six disposals and booting five goals.

Juneja was signed as an injury replacement player ahead of the 2026 season, featuring eight times since making her debut in Sydney’s Round 3 win against St Kilda. The crafty utility has averaged 10 disposals and kicked her first and second career goals against GWS in Round 5.

Sydney Swans Acting Executive General Manager – AFLW Football Amanda Turner said she was thrilled to have the trio re-commit for another season.

“All three players have shown tremendous growth during their time in our program and have worked incredibly hard to earn their opportunities at the highest level,” Turner said.

“Imogen has shown great resilience after overcoming injury setbacks and has continued to develop her game, Sarah has become a valued teammate and contributor since arriving at the Club, and Emma has embraced every opportunity that has come her way, proving she belongs at AFLW level.

“We look forward to seeing each of them continue their development in the red and white.”
