A sensation for the Gold Coasters during their inaugural year, Swallow is looking forward to once again teaming up with Ablett in the midfield this season and is confident with another extremely tough off season under his belt, he’ll be in a better position to be make a significant contribute later in the contest.

“The hamstring injury at the end of the season set me back a little bit, but I have had a really strong off season and I feel a lot fitter compared to the same time last year.”
