Talented ruck Toby Conway has locked away his future at the Cats, securing a two-year deal to keep him in the Hoops until at least the end of 2027.

Drafted with Pick 25 in the 2021 National Draft, Conway is an emerging prospect who made his AFL debut in the Round 24, 2023 against the Western Bulldogs.

After a strong debut in the final game of 2023, Conway made five further appearances in 2024, including three consecutive games between Round 11 and Round 13, before his season ended prematurely with a foot injury.

In those five games, Conway kicked his first AFL goal in the Easter Monday clash against Hawthorn, while also winning 41 hit-outs in the Round 6 clash against Brisbane.

Conway said he is very lucky to be at Geelong and excited to extend for two more years.

“Since being draft to Geelong, the club has been amazing, I have been surrounded by a good bunch of boys and have developed really important relationships that I will build on in the next couple of years” Conway said.  

“The relationships I have built with the young boys especially and having family down the road made extending my time here an easy decision. All the coaches here are unbelievable and help you facilitate your own program in a lot of ways which suits me and how I go about it and have enjoyed every bit of my time here so far.”

Geelong Cats Executive General Manager – Football Andrew Mackie said the Club was pleased secure Conway’s signature.

"Toby is an integral part of our future, his professionalism and work ethic continue to impress, and it is exciting to see him reintegrate into our football training sessions over the past week.

“He is a well-respected teammate and person, and we look forward to seeing him continue to develop his game over the next two years."
