The Carlton Football Club congratulates ruck Breann Harrington and her husband Brad who are expecting their first child.
Harrington will miss the upcoming 2026 AFLW season as the inaugural Blue takes time out of the game having played 93 games at the highest level since 2017.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received as we prepare to welcome our first child together,” Harrington said.
“While this year will look different for us and it’ll be sad not running out with my teammates week in, week out, I’m excited to support the group in a different capacity this year.”
“Brad and I are really excited for this new chapter in our lives and can’t wait to welcome a new Blues supporter.”
Carlton AFLW Senior Coach Mathew Buck said the Club was delighted for Breann and Brad.
“She will undoubtedly remain an integral part of our program throughout the season, continuing to support the team in various ways,” Buck said.
“We couldn’t be happier for them, and we wish them nothing but the very best as they begin this exciting new chapter together this year.”
Carlton will now have one remaining list spot heading into the upcoming AFLW season.
