Swans upgrade two to primary list
Brandon Jack and Dane Rampe both promoted to the Swans' senior list
SYDNEYSIDERS Brandon Jack and Dane Rampe will both be promoted to the Swans' senior list after the young duo enjoyed breakout first seasons with the club.
Jack, who surpassed all expectations by making nine senior appearances after being picked up in last year's Rookie Draft, has also signed a contract extension tying him to the club until the end of 2015.
The younger brother of Swans co-captain Kieren Jack, fleet-footed small forward Brandon made his debut in round nine 11 and demonstrated his talents with a four-goal haul against Melbourne in round 15.
"My goal coming into this year was to get a contract at the end of the year on the senior list and I think I've earned that," the 19-year-old told sydneyswans.com.au.
"To be honest I was only aiming for a one-year extension … but to get this, I think it means the club has got a bit of faith in me."
Elevated to the senior list on the eve of the 2013 season as cover for injured fellow defender Alex Johnson, Rampe had an outstanding campaign, making 22 straight appearances from round four onwards and 23 overall.
Late in the year, the 23-year-old also penned a two-year contract extension.
