Sean Darcy, a Fremantle ruckman, has signed a six-year contract extension that will carry him until the end of 2030, stating that he believes fully in the Dockers’ roster and what the club is building.
The hefty extension gives Darcy the longest current contract at Fremantle, along with Brennan Cox, and secures the greatest ruck duo in the competition for the long time, after Luke Jackson committed to the end of 2029.

Darcy played 15 games in 2023 after an ankle injury forced him to have season-ending surgery.
The ruckman stated that he had had a nice couple of weeks on the track and was “starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel” as he prepares to resume full training in January.
