Barry O'Connor Biography

Sydney delists Lewis Taylor and Barry O'Connor.

"Lewis and Barry have been excellent contributors to our club and have shared some unique and memorable experiences with our group over the past three seasons," Sydney's football boss Charlie Gardiner said.

"It's a difficult time of year when list changes must be made, and we wish Lewis and Barry all the best in their next pursuits."

Sydney doubles its Irish playing stocks, signing Colin O'Riordan's 193cm countryman Barry O'Connor.

The Swans committed to O'Connor, who turns 21 in three weeks, in recent days on a two-year contract, as is normal with Irish recruits.

"I just want to learn as much as I can about the game, try to improve and try to make an impression so the Swans want to pick me up," O'Connor said.

"That'd be the dream scenario, but I also just want to enjoy the experience, take in as much as possible and learn."
