Brandon Ellis came to the SUNS in the 2019 Telstra Trade Period after 176 games over eight seasons at Richmond. Ellis played in both of the Tigers’ premierships in 2017 and 2019 as a defender and more recently winger. The hard-running recruit brings a wealth of experience and will play a big role for the SUNS in 2020. He is ultra-consistent, playing 20 games or more in all but one of his AFL seasons. Ellis fills a need in the midfield for the SUNS, with his speed and defensive accountability sure to see him make an impact this season.
