Hawthorn forward Poppy Stockwell has put pen to paper on a new contract extension to remain in the brown and gold for a further three years.  

Just months after joining the Hawks as a replacement player on the eve of the 2026 season, Stockwell’s latest deal now locks her away with the club until at least the end of 2029.

Playing every game for the Hawks in her first year, Stockwell has risen to AFLW stardom in 2026, with the 23-year-old recently recognised as one of the league’s premier small forwards with her inaugural All-Australian Squad selection.

With 16 goals next to her name to date, Stockwell is ranked 10^th in the AFLW for total goals this season, averaging more than one goal per outing.

The Western Australian product was at her very best just a fortnight ago in front of her friends and family in Perth in Round 12, as she kicked a career-high three goals from 12 disposals, as well as laying four tackles.

Hawthorn General Manager of AFLW Keegan Brooksby said securing Stockwell’s signature on a three-year deal is exciting for the club.

“Poppy has been a great addition to our club since joining as a replacement player earlier this year,” Brooksby said.

“It’s been clear to see Poppy’s impact on-field since her arrival, and she has equally demonstrated growth off-field as well and created great relationships within the program.

“We’re looking forward to seeing more of Poppy in the brown and gold over the next three years.”
