Sydney has signed a second Irishmen to their books, with Barry O'Connor joining Colin O'Riordan on the Swans' playing list.
According to AFL.com.au, the Swans recently signed O'Connor to a two-year deal, with the 20-year-old developing into a key-position prospect for Sydney.
O'Connor was spotted by Sydney list manager Kinnear Beatson at the AFL Europe Combine in November, and was asked to train with the Swans for a fortnight in April.
During his time at the Swans two months ago, O'Connor spoke to the club's website about trying to improve himself as a player during the two-week stint.
"I just want to learn as much as I can about the game, try to improve and try to make an impression so the Swans want to pick me up," O'Connor said.
"That'd be the dream scenario, but I also just want to enjoy the experience, take in as much as possible and learn."
Sydney has had a strong history of Irish products, with Tadhg Kennelly the only Irishman to win a premiership in the AFL.
