The Sydney Swans are pleased to confirm that Ryan O’Keefe has decided to remain at the Club and is committed to playing out the rest of his career with the Swans.
Whilst the details are yet to be resolved, the Club and Ryan have agreed in principle to a four year deal.
“We’re really pleased Ryan has chosen to stay with the Club.” said senior coach Paul Roos.
“We’ve always rated him as a quality player – an All-Australian – and we’re delighted he will be lining up with us again next year. I think the last few weeks have been difficult for everyone, so we are pleased that today’s news provides some closure to the matter.”
We’ll be sitting down with Ryan over the coming weeks to resolve the detail but look forward to having him join us on 17 November for pre-season training.
“For my part, I’m relieved and looking to repay the Club and Swans supporters for the faith they have shown in me.” Ryan O’Keefe added.
“Whilst I did have aspirations to move home to Melbourne, it wasn’t to be and I’m more than happy to remain at the Swans, to be with my mates and to live in Sydney. I’ve moved on now and my focus is very much on next season and getting the best out of myself.”
