The GIANTS farewell Josh Fahey, after the club informed the defender that he would not be offered a contract for season 2026.

Fahey, 21, joined the GIANTS via pick 42 in the 2021 AFL Draft and went on to play seven games in orange and charcoal, with all of those coming in 2023.

A rebounding defender also capable of playing on the wing, Fahey was also a strong contributor for the club’s VFL side across the last four seasons.

GIANTS Executive General Manager of Football, Jason McCartney thanked Fahey for his services to the club. 

“It’s always a difficult time of year and unfortunately we weren’t able to offer Josh a list spot moving forward,” McCartney said.

“Josh has been a valued member of our football program and we acknowledge the effort and commitment he has shown throughout his time at the GIANTS.

“We thank Josh for his contribution to the club and wish him every success for the future, both on and off the field.”
