Promising forward Will McLachlan, who was contracted for 2025, has moved quickly to extend his stay at Brighton Homes Arena until the end of 2026.

It’s a similar case for versatile forward Luke Lloyd who is also staying on with the club after the 2023 draftee earned another season with the reigning premier.

Mid-season draftee Luke Beecken has been rewarded with a one-year rookie contract extension until the end of next season.

The club has informed fellow mid-season draftee Darcy Craven and defender Darragh Joyce they will be offered a one-year contract for 2025, with the Lions advising the pair of its intentions to re-select them via the rookie draft.

Brisbane Lions List Manager, Dom Ambrogio said the club was very pleased to lock away this group of re-signings.

“It is great that we have been able to reward these five players by offering them contract extensions to remain at the Brisbane Lions,” Ambrogio said.

“Each of these players has shown strong development during their time at the club and we are excited to see them work hard to continue to build on their game in a bid to push for regular AFL section in 2025 and beyond.”
