Gold Coast SUNS star Havana Harris has inked a multi-year contract extension to remain at her home club until the end of the 2029 AFLW season.
Since joining with Pick 2 in the 2024 Telstra AFLW Draft, the StreetSmarts SUNS Academy talent has made an immediate impact inside the SUNS forward 50.
Featuring across all 12 fixtures in her debut season, Harris’ strength, aerial prowess and forward craft, earned her a Rising Star nomination, two Goal of the Year nominations and runner-up on SUNS Club Champion podium.
The 2025 leading goal kicker has cemented herself as a key pillar in the SUNS forward line and continued her stellar form, booting eight goals so far this season, including a career-best three majors in Round 3.
The 20-year-old is thrilled to have secured her future on the Gold Coast.
“The opportunity to play alongside my best mates every week and in front of my family is something really special and I don’t take it for granted,” Harris shared.
“I absolutely love this club and this playing group. Having come through the Academy, I have built so many great relationships and I can’t imagine playing football anywhere else.”
Gold Coast SUNS General Manager of Women’s Football Erin Phillips shared, “Having come through our StreetSmarts SUNS Academy and developed her football on the Gold Coast, Havana represents everything we want our pathway to stand for.”
“Securing a player of Havana’s calibre is incredibly important for our football club. She is an incredible person as well as being a super young talent who has already established herself as one of the competition’s most influential players, despite being only 20 years of age.
“Havana’s impact on games, competitive drive and commitment to continual improvement makes her a critical part of our future.”
