Jaspa Fletcher Cements Lions Future with Four-Year Contract Extension
Rising Star Commits Long-Term to Brisbane
In a significant boost for the Brisbane Lions, emerging talent Jaspa Fletcher has secured his future with the club, signing a contract extension that will keep him at the Den until 2030. The 21-year-old father-son pick, who was already signed through 2026, has added another four years to his deal.
Impressive Journey and Development
Born in February 2004, Fletcher comes from an impressive sporting lineage. He moved to Brisbane at age three when his father Adrian, a 231-game AFL veteran who played for multiple clubs including 107 games with the Lions, took an assistant coaching role. His mother Narelle is equally accomplished, having played 296 games in the WNBL and represented Australia.
Since being selected with pick 12 at the 2022 NAB AFL Draft, Fletcher has exceeded expectations. His debut season saw him earn a Rising Star nomination in Round 19 against Geelong, and he has become known for his exceptional endurance and ball use. His contributions were crucial to Brisbane’s 2024 Premiership success.
Versatility and Leadership Potential
Fletcher has worked diligently to expand his game, focusing on improving his contested play and aerial skills while building a strong fitness foundation. Working alongside his father Adrian, he has developed into a more versatile player.
‘Captain in waiting’ is a term being used to describe Fletcher, with two-time Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale endorsing his leadership potential. While humbled by such praise, Fletcher acknowledges the strong leadership group at the club and his desire to learn from their experience.
Future Outlook
Brisbane Lions General Manager Football, Danny Daly, has expressed excitement about Fletcher’s re-signing, describing him as one of the club’s most exciting young talents. The club values not only his on-field abilities but also his character and leadership potential, anticipating continued growth in both his playing career and personal development.
