Sandringham Football Club is pleased to announce that Tarkyn O'Leary has signed with the Zebras for season 2024.
Joining us from the Sandringham Dragons, O’Leary is a promising young talent and a familiar face at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval.
O’Leary is a talented wingman with elite ball use and a high footy IQ.
Above all, though, his endurance skills are one of a kind - seeing him take out the 2km time trial at the AFL Draft Combine with a time of 5:48.
A small forward in his junior years, he is also able to cause havoc in the forward half and proved himself to be a hard matchup in his two games with the Zebras this year.
He registered 10 and 12 disposals respectively in Round 20 and 22 whilst recording a total of three goals.
Head Coach Jake Batchelor is looking forward to helping him progress his game and believes his speed will be an asset around the ground;
“We’re thrilled to have Tarkyn on board for 2024,” he said.
“We love his ability to cover the ground, which he showcased in the 2km time trial during the AFL Draft Combine. He is a demonstrated connector within the football programs he’s been a part of and has shown a great goal sense.”
We’re looking forward to supporting O’Leary as he continues his Sandringham journey into 2024.
