Barry O’Connor will continue to the tradition of Irish involvement with AFL franchise GWS Giants, after signing a one-year contract for the Sydney outfit’s second team to play in the VFL next season.

O’Connor, a son of Wexford hurling legend George, had been released by Sydney Swans after the Covid-19 pandemic had halted his development having joined the Bloods in 2019.
