We have officially welcomed QBE Sydney Swans Academy product Harry Kyle to the club.
The Sydney Swans are thrilled to officially welcome QBE Sydney Swans Academy product Harry Kyle to the football club, after matching the GWS Giants bid at pick 14 in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
Kyle, an athletic defender/midfielder standing at 188cm, grew up playing rugby and basketball before landing at the QBE Sydney Swans Academy in the middle of last season. The 18-year-old made his VFL debut for Sydney in Round 18 of the 2025 season.
The UNSW-ES Bulldogs product also averaged 21 disposals and more than five rebound 50s in the Coates Talent League last season and represented the Allies in all four games in the National Championships.
Kyle’s athletic attributes were on show at the National Draft Combine, posting three top 10 results. He ranked number one in the running vertical jump, 8th for the standing vertical jump and 10th for the agility test.
Sydney Swans Head of List Strategy, Chris Keane said Kyle is an exciting prospect.
“We are delighted to have brought Harry onto the senior list tonight, as we feel he has huge potential and traits to develop into a very good AFL player,” Keane said.
“Whilst he will likely start his career as a running defender, we feel he could develop into a midfielder in time.
“His rate of improvement and development over the last 12 months has been significant and is a credit to Harry and all those involved with QBE Sydney Swans Academy.”
