Geelong forward Aishling Moloney has put pen to paper on a three-year contract extension, with the star Cat to remain in the Hoops until at least the end of 2027.
The Irish recruit has quickly established herself as one of competitions best forwards, with the 25-year-old taking home the AFLW’s leading goalkicker award alongside Brisbane’s Taylor Smith with a league record 21 goals in the home and away season.
Her stellar 2024 season saw Moloney average 14.2 disposals and five score involvements a game, with the Cat securing a runner-up finish in Geelong’s AFLW Best and Fairest award.
Moloney’s 2024 season was further recognised on Monday night, with the Cat awarded All-Australian selection for the first time, named at centre half forward.
Geelong Cats Assistant General Manager of Football Brett Johnson said the Club was thrilled to secure Moloney’s services for an additional three years.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to secure Aishling for the next three years. She’s been a game-changer since joining the Cats and has quickly established herself as a key part of our forward structure,” Johnson said.
“To achieve what Aishling has in such a short time is remarkable, from playing her first AFLW game just over a year ago to being named an All-Australian and the joint leading goal scorer in the league, her development has been outstanding.
“We are incredibly excited to see Aishling continue to grow and reach new heights with us, she is a key piece of our future, and we’re eager to watch her future unfold in the Hoops.”
