Geelong Cats forward Tyson Stengle has sent shockwaves through the AFL community after making a powerful announcement that left fans buzzing and head coach Chris Scott momentarily speechless.
In an emotional address at GMHBA Stadium earlier today, Stengle confirmed his long-term commitment to the Geelong Football Club, signing a multi-year contract extension and pledging his future to the Cats during what he described as the “most important years” of his career.
The announcement comes amid intense speculation about his future, with rival clubs reportedly circling the dynamic forward. Instead, Stengle made it clear where his heart lies.
“This club gave me a second chance and believed in me,” Stengle said. “Geelong is home. I’m not going anywhere.”
The 2022 All-Australian forward has been instrumental in Geelong’s attacking structure, known for his creativity, pressure inside 50, and ability to produce in big moments. Since arriving at the Cats, he has become one of the most exciting small forwards in the competition and a fan favourite at GMHBA Stadium.
Head coach Chris Scott admitted the announcement was a massive boost for the club.
“Tyson represents resilience, growth, and elite talent,” Scott said. “His commitment sends a strong message about the direction we’re heading. We’re thrilled.”
Teammates reportedly applauded the decision inside the clubrooms, while supporters flooded social media with messages of excitement and pride.
With Stengle locking in his future, Geelong’s forward line looks set to remain one of the most dangerous in the AFL — and Cats fans now have even more reason to believe the next chapter could be something special.
