Cora Staunton and Brid Stack pen new GWS Giants deals

Cora Staunton and Brid Stack have resigned with the GWS Giants for the forthcoming 2022 AFLW season.

Former Mayo player Staunton has singed a one-year extension as she prepares for her sixth season at the Sydney club while Stack has also penned a one-year deal.

Staunton has registered 47 goals from 40 games since debuting for the club in 2018 while Stack made a big impression after making her debut in 2021 after recovering from a serious neck injury.

Head of women's football at the club Briana Harvey said the Giants was excited to secure the signatures of the Irish duo.

"Both bring with them great stories of resilience and we’re thrilled to have them back for another season.

"Cora was key for us last year and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

"And while Brid is still learning the game, we were really pleased with what she brought to the group both on and off field."

Season seven of the AFLW competition begins in August, with players returning to the club for pre-season last week.
