Corey Warner re-signs with Sydney in boost to Swans’ hopes of retaining brother Chad Warner

Sydney’s hopes of retaining Chad Warner amid significant interest from WA clubs have been boosted, with the Swans locking in the star midfielder’s brother Corey on a two-year contract extension.

The younger Warner, aged 21, will remain at the NSW club until at least the end of 2027 with the fresh deal.

It’s a move that will not hurt the chances of the Swans keeping a hold of his All-*********** older brother as he weighs up his future, with both West Coast and Fremantle poised to make a big play to bring him back to WA when his contract expires at season’s end.

Corey Warner, who has played six AFL games, said he was “thankful” new Sydney coach Dean Cox and the club had shown faith in him.

“It’s huge. I’ve been at the club for a few years now so to continue here, it’s definitely a privilege,” Warner said.

“Coxy has been really good. He’s always backing me in, always pushing me to take on the game, and I’ve felt confident off the back of that.

My forward role is quite team-based so to continue to do that will stand me in good stead.”

The Warner brothers have been part of the same squad for the past three years after Corey was drafted with pick 40 in 2021.

Swans football manager Leon Cameron said the East Fremantle product had enjoyed a “fantastic” pre-season as he looks to cement a spot at AFL level.

“His VFL form as been strong in the last couple of years and we feel as though he’s ready to take the next step at AFL level,” Cameron said.

“He is an extremely hard-working player and a popular member of the playing group, so we are thrilled he’s committed to the next couple of seasons.”
