Brayden Fiorini Biography

Monday, 27 February 2023

After a trade to Collingwood during the 2022 trade period didn't eventuate, Brayden Fiorini says he's happy to stay at the Suns.

"I started the year in the ones last year and played probably the first half and then found myself in and out of the side again. It's probably been a constant theme over the last few years for me being on the borderline a bit," he said.

"It was more just a mature and respectful conversation with 'Dewy'. He's been pretty honest with me and likewise, it was more if there was more opportunity elsewhere to potentially guarantee me more of an opportunity then we should look at it. But we kept in contact throughout the trade period and it eventuated that I stayed and I was really happy with that as well."

Touk Miller will again serve as vice-captain for the Suns in 2020 under co-captains Jarrod Witts and David Swallow, while Brayden Fiorini, Alex Sexton and new addition Sam Collins round out the six-man leadership group.

Wednesday, 6 March 2019

Brayden Fiorini has earned the respect of his teammates off the field, now he wants to earn it on the field.

Injuries have restricted Fiorini to 26 games in his first three seasons, but that didn't stop the Suns from electing him into their leadership group.

"I'm still inexperienced and I want to get out on the field all 22 games this year hopefully, help the boys out there and prove my on-field leadership as well," Fiorini said.

"I have been up and down with injuries but tried to get my body right through the pre-season and fingers crossed it stays like that.

"Every main session I've completed. I've ticked that box and it gives me a lot of confidence."

Monday, 25 February 2019

Gold Coast appoints David Swallow and Jarrod Witts as co-captains for the 2019 season.

Witts and Swallow will form a new look eight-man leadership group that includes Touk Miller and Pearce Hanley as vice-captains and Alex Sexton, Jarrod Harbrow, Brayden Fiorini and George Horlin-Smith.

"It's very humbling. It's quite a proud moment for myself," Swallow said.

"I'm really confident with the program and the leaders underneath that we'll see success in the near future."

Thursday, 14 June 2018

Brayden Fiorini signs a new two-year deal with Gold Coast to remain at the club until the end of 2020.

"I can’t wait to be part of the future of the club," Fiorini said.

"Stuey (Dew) has been great not only for the whole club, but my own game personally as well.

“Over the next couple of years, I want to really develop as a leader and try to drive the group as much as I can.”

Sunday, 5 February 2017

Brayden Fiorini until round 22 to make his in 2016, and after a quiet game against Collingwood, gave a glimpse into his enormous ability with a stunning performance against Port Adelaide the following week.

In a depleted Suns outfit that ended up losing by 23 points, Fiorini finished with 32 disposals, seven marks, kicked two goals and laid 12 tackles.

But despite that showing, he's quite a way down the midfield pecking order for 2017.

"We've got a lot of new mids coming in and it's just getting more competitive, so I can't rely on that last game to get me through," Fiorini said.

"I've got to keep working hard on my game."

Saturday, 20 August 2016

Brayden Fiorini makes his AFL debut for Gold Coast at Docklands Stadium with 17 disposals (7 kicks and 10 handballs), 4 marks and a tackle in a 71-point loss to Collingwood.

Friday, 3 June 2016

Brayden Fiorini signs a one-year extension with Gold Coast and will remain at the club until the end of 2018.

"To have the opportunity to realise my AFL dream in Queensland has been a dream come true," Fiorini said.

"The playing group, coaching staff and welfare team welcomed me with open arms from the first day I arrived, and have made every effort to assist with my transition to the Gold Coast.

"I want to be part of this club’s future, and am looking forward to every challenge and opportunity that is presented to me."

Tuesday, 19 April 2016

Brayden Fiorini faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines after suffering an unusual knee injury in the NEAFL at the weekend.

Fiorini ruptured the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee and will consult a surgeon on Wednesday.

The lateral collateral ligament is located on the outside of the knee and is one of the most important ligaments for maintaining stability.

Gold Coast head physiotherapist Adam Russell said the injury took place in a tackle during the second quarter of the Suns' NEAFL clash on Saturday.

"He had an MRI scan yesterday which has shown that he’s got an unusual injury," Russell said.

"He’s going down to see the surgeon tomorrow and is tentatively booked in for surgery on Thursday so we’ll probably know a bit more about his management after that."

Thursday, 3 March 2016

Brayden Fiorini says he has been working hard on his defensive pressure since being drafted by Gold Coast.

"Playing in TAC Cup, I think that was a weakness, pressure and tackling, but coming into the AFL system you have to run both ways, so I've been working on my defensive transition," Fiorini said.

"I feel I've improved and hopefully I play well in that area."

Wednesday, 25 November 2015

Gold Coast select Brayden Fiorini with pick No.20 in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft.

"We think he's untouched, he's going to be a really, really solid player," Suns list manager Scott Clayton said.

"The back half of his year we thought was outstanding, and we already liked him at the championships.

"He's a ball magnet, goes where you want him to go as an inside/outside midfielder."
