Re-signed Sydney Swans ruckman Callum Sinclair credits his ever-rising career form to an insatiable desire to grow his game – and the towering force is only looking forward ahead of a new chapter in red and white.

The 29-year-old has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension that’s linked himself with Sydney until at least the end of 2021.

Sinclair has grabbed the chance to carry Sydney’s entire ruck load with both hands in Sam Naismith’s 12-month absence, and he has a burning hunger to continue to reach soaring heights.

“I think every year you want to become a better player than the one you were before, using the resources you have, using your coaches and using the great players around you to help you along the way,” Sinclair told SwansTV.

“There’s a really strong support system around me and the playing group are a really talented bunch, so I’m learning so much from the boys every day.

“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity the footy club has given me to continue my career here, and I’m looking forward to making the most of the next two years.”

Whether Sinclair is lining up in Sydney’s forward 50 or colliding with an opposition ruckman, the 200-centimetre giant is surrounded by star talent.

He joined forces with Lance Franklin and Sam Reid when rotating through the Swans’ forward line in Saturday’s clash with the Western Bulldogs, while his ruck duel with Tim English matched him with Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker, Isaac Heeney and Callum Mills. 

The 2019 campaign marks Sinclair’s fourth season in red and white since jumping ship from the West Coast Eagles via the 2015 AFL Draft.

He notched his 50^th match in Sydney colours in season 2018 and is now just 12 games shy of reaching a career ton.

Sinclair featured in West Coast’s 2015 Grand Final showdown with Hawthorn, and he says the Swans’ considerable depth of talent could have them on the path to glory.

“We have an extremely young playing group and we’ve got so much talent here. We set very high standards for ourselves and so we should. We believe we’re up there with some of the best footy sides in the competition,” Sinclair said.

“One big reason why I wanted to stay here is the potential of real success, and it’s something the whole playing group is really driven for.”
