Cooper Stephens
Hawthorn
Midfield | 188CM

Cooper joins East Perth from Victoria, where he has been on the list of AFL clubs Hawthorn and Geelong. He played seven AFL games for the Cats, debuting against GWS in 2022 and shining with 19 disposals. Despite being cursed with injuries, Cooper worked hard to be a consisent performer for Hawks-affiliated Box Hill in the VFL over the past few years.
Cooper's big-bodied midfield presence will thrive off Jones' ruck dominance and brings more firepower to our Royals team!

Sebit Kuek
Fremantle
Forward | 199CM

From district club Ellenbrook JFC, Sebit played a number of games for our Colts, Ressies, and League sides before going to Freo at pick #14 in the 2022 mid-season draft. Despite knee and shoulder injuries, Sebit played 18 WAFL league games for Peel in 2023 & 2024. He's a fan favourite and we can't wait to see him at the Home of the Mighty Royals next season!

West Coast
Defender | 187CM

A local product, hailing from Noranda JFC, Jordy impressed at Colts level for the Royals, resulting in a call up to the Eagles. Battling injuries, he played many games at WAFL level for the Eagles. We can't wait to have him home in the black and blue!
