Shameless bragging but I think our club takes a huge step in the right direction with a local Campbelltown junior debuting on Saturday. One day I hope our team core will be Western Suburbs and ACT juniors, but we have to start somewhere.

Drafted from: St George (NSW)/NSW-A

PLAYER BIO
Nick Shipley became the first graduate of the GIANTS Academy in Western Sydney to join the club when he was selected with pick 64 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft. Hailing from Campbelltown, Shipley is a tall, strong midfielder and a contested ball-winner. Shipley excels at stoppages, has good vision and clean hands with terrific work-rate. As well as being part of the Academy, Shipley also played with the club’s Reserves side in the NEAFL during his underage years.
SEASON PREVIEW
2018 2018
The GIANTfirstrst homegrown GIANTS Academy product found his feet in the NEAFL last year and finished the season with some solid displays at representative level. An inside midfielder with a strong work ethic, the former soccer player will only get better being in an elite environment on a full-time basis.
