Hawthorn's Will Day Approaches Free Agency Amid Interest from South Australian Clubs
Will Day, a midfielder for Hawthorn, is nearing free agency status at the conclusion of next season, prompting the club to seek a long-term contract for him.
As a native of South Australia, Day may attract offers from both Adelaide and Port Adelaide, who are expected to present lucrative deals to bring him back home. Despite facing injury challenges in recent seasons, he has shown resilience by performing well towards the end of the 2026 season.
Hawthorn's EGM of football, Rob McCartney, expressed confidence in Day's desire to remain with the club, noting that discussions with his management have yet to begin but are anticipated. Day is among several notable players set to become free agents in 2027, while teammate Ned Reeves is also expected to stay with Hawthorn despite interest from other clubs.
