Bio
A product of the QBE Sydney Swans Academy, Caiden Cleary officially joined the club during the 2023 National Draft after Sydney matched a bid from Collingwood to secure him with pick 24. The hard-running midfielder made a memorable start to his career in 2024, debuting as the substitute in a Sydney Derby against GWS and booting a goal with his first kick in senior football. Although his sophomore season began with a setback due to a suspension for an off-field indiscretion, Cleary worked his way back into senior contention later in 2025, adding defensive intent and grunt to the rotation. Known for his elite endurance and appetite for tackling, he plays as a high-pressure on-baller capable of winning contested possession and spreading rapidly from the contest, establishing himself as a determined prospect fighting for a permanent spot in the Swans' midfield.
