Jarryd Lyons has officially joined the Brisbane Lions as a delisted free agent.
The 26-year-old midfielder was delisted by Gold Coast yesterday as the club wished to move in a younger direction with their midfield.
He’ll now join crosstown rivals Brisbane on a three-year deal.
Brisbane General Manager of Football David Noble said the club was excited about the addition.
“To be able to land a player of Jarryd’s status to our group post the trade period is a great credit to our club,” he told the Brisbane website.
“Jarryd brings a level of maturity in his game to our club that will complement what we are putting together both in the midfield and forward lines.
“He certainly fits the strategy we have executed in the last 12 months of age and culture fit.”
He joins his younger brother Corey, already on Brisbane’s list.
