GWS Giants Young Gun Leek Aleer Seeks Fresh Start at St Kilda After Finals Exit
Breaking: Aleer Confirms Trade Request
Greater Western Sydney defender Leek Aleer has officially requested a trade to St Kilda following the Giants’ elimination final loss to Hawthorn.
Career at GWS
Born in Kenya to Sudanese parents, Aleer was drafted by the Giants as a high-marking and extremely athletic tall defender. He was taken with the Giants’ second pick in the 2021 AFL Draft. The 24-year-old has shown steady improvement, playing a career-high 13 games this season, building on his 12 appearances across his previous three years at the club.
2025 Season Performance
During the 2025 season, Aleer has averaged 9.5 disposals and 4.2 spoils per game, demonstrating his defensive capabilities. He particularly impressed with a career-high seven marks against Geelong in the Giants’ Round 18 victory.
Future Prospects
The move to St Kilda has been in development for some time, with Aleer set to become the fourth player to join the Saints, alongside Carlton’s Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni, and West Coast’s Liam Ryan. He is expected to sign a four-year deal with the Saints valued at approximately $3 million.
Giants’ Perspective
GWS Giants coach Adam Kingsley has expressed his desire for Aleer to stay with the club, acknowledging his potential: ‘We hope he stays. We know there’s a lot of interest in him, and he’s going to be a really good player.’
