Kieren Briggs (born 6 October 1999) is anAustralian rules footballer who plays for theGreater Western Sydney Giants in theAustralian Football League (AFL).
Growing up, Briggs prioritised soccer until he joined thePennant Hills Junior Football club at age 11. Two years later, he joined theGWS Academy program. DespitePennant Hills falling within theSydney Swans Academy zone,[1] due to the fact that he lived inCarlingford, he was consequently tied to the GWS Academy.
After going undrafted in 2017, he emerged as a strong contender for the 2018 draft after an exceptional year, where he was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for both the GWS Academy side and the Allies team in the2018 AFL Under 18 championships. That same year, he was named as theruckman in the championship'sAll-Australian team.[2][1] He was then drafted by GWS in the2018 AFL draft, when they matched the bid made byWest Coast with the 34th selection.[3]
Briggs did not debut for the Giants until late into the2021 AFL season.[4] He only played 9 games in two and a half seasons, before being recalled in round 10 of the2023 AFL season. He held his position for the remainder of the year and was considered one of the best ruckmen in the league.[5] In September 2023, after playing his first ever finals game, Briggs signed a two-year contract extension.[6]
