Angus Sheldrick turns his back on rival interest to re-sign with the Swans for two more seasons.

But after landing a spot in Dean Cox's Opening Round team, the West Australian has played 16 of 19 games in 2025, including the past 12.

"It has definitely been frustrating but on the positive side I've had some great midfielders to learn off, so that's why I have been out of the side with the midfield we've had. But to get my opportunity and go OK, it's a nice feeling," Sheldrick said.
