Young SUN Bailey Humphrey has committed to the Gold Coast SUNS, signing a multi-year extension that locks him in in the red, gold and blue until the end of the 2030 AFL season.
The versatile midfielder/forward is one of the AFL’s most promising young talents and after being previously contracted until the end of the 2028 season, the 21-year-old has pencilled in a further two years on the Gold Coast.
Hailing from Moe in country Victoria, Humphrey has played 82 matches in SUNS colours since being drafted with Pick 6 in the 2022 national draft, also taking out the club’s Emerging Player award in 2025.
Humphrey has kicked 22 goals in 2026, including multiple majors in three of his last four matches.
List & Recruiting Manager Kall Burns says the club is pleased to have locked in one of its rising talents for a further two seasons.
“Bailey is a highly valued and much-loved member of our football club, so we’re incredibly pleased that he has committed his future to the Gold Coast for another two years,” Burns said.
“He’s only 21, but with four seasons of AFL football already behind him, Bailey has established himself as an important part of our group and what we’re building together.
“There’s a strong sense of belief and unity within this playing group, and Bailey’s commitment is another reflection of that. We place high expectations on ourselves, we know what we’re capable of and we’re determined to continue building something special here on the Gold Coast.
Humphrey is the latest young SUN to have secured their future on the Gold Coast, following the likes of Jed Walter, Leo Lombard and Bodhi Uwland to have penned multi-year extensions in 2026.
