THE FUTURE of young forward Zach Sproule is in limbo after being delisted by Greater Western Sydney ahead of next month's NAB AFL Draft.

The 22-year-old, who will come off the rookie list after four years at the club, managed just one senior game in 2019.

Meanwhile, veteran Sam Reid has also been axed but will be re-drafted next month.

As expected, midfielder Jackson Hately has delisted himself as he prepares to join Adelaide in the pre-season draft.

The new list rules see clubs permitted to have a minimum of 37 players and a maximum of 44 players on their lists.

The Giants also announced the re-signings of Daniel Lloyd, Shane Mumford and Callum Brown.
