Chad Warner looking at real estate in Perth amidst West Coast and Fremantle interest

SEN WA host Paul Hasleby is reporting that Sydney’s Chad Warner is looking at real estate in Perth.

The Sydney superstar, who hails from Perth and played for East Fremantle in the WAFL before being drafted by the Swans, comes out of contract at the end of the 2025 campaign with both the Eagles and Dockers wanting to lure him home this off-season.

Warner reportedly met with Eagles CEO Don Pyke and fellow Eagles football department staffer Kieren Jack on the golf course during a recent visit to Perth and Hasleby says he has also been looking at real estate in the city.

According to Hasleby, Warner in the last fortnight had a private viewing of a property in Bicton, an affluent riverside suburb 10km south of Perth’s CBD.

The Fremantle great also added that the 23-year-old looked at other properties in the area.

“Not only did Chad Warner play golf with Don Pyke and Kieren Jack whilst here in Perth,” Hasleby told SEN WA The Run Home.

“I can tell you last Sunday, he had a private viewing of a property in Bicton. He didn’t buy the property, but I am led to believe he did also look at some other properties in that area. 

“It doesn’t mean that he’s definitely coming home, but Luke Jackson and Liam Baker both explored real estate options in Perth the year before deciding to come home.

“It doesn’t leave any more clues in terms of which club, because Bicton the suburb is basically right between Coburn and Mineral Resources Park.

“That’s a bit of news filtering through.”

Warner is not a free agent at the end of the 2025 season, so both the Eagles and Dockers would have to trade for the 85-gamer if he requests a trade home this off-season.
