GWS Giants youngster Tanner Bruhn is understood to be weighing up a move back to his home state of Victoria in 2022.

Bruhn joined the Giants as the 12th overall selection in the 2020 National Draft and has played 24 games in the orange and charcoal across hi stwo seasons in New South Wales.

The 20-year-old was among a trio of Giants taken as first-round selection in the draft, however fellow top 2020 recruits Ryan Angwin and Conor Stone have already signed-on at the Giants until the end of the 2024 season.

According toย AFL.com.au'sย Cal Twomey, Bruhn has been offered a two-year deal to extend his stay with Greater Western Sydney, however is yet to sign on the dotted line.

The Geelong Falcons product's hesitancy comes as he is reportedly considering a move back to Victoria to be closer to family, despite spending just two seasons with the Giants.

"Heโ€™s considering a move back to Victoria,โ€ Twomey toldย SEN.ย 

โ€œHeโ€™s out of contract in only his second year at the Giants. Heโ€™s got family pull back home.

โ€œHeโ€™s had a two-year contract put in front of him from the Giants for some time now, but so far, heโ€™s not signed it.

โ€œTheyโ€™re very keen to keep him, clearly, they used pick 12 on him in the 2020 draft.

โ€œHeโ€™s the only top 15 pick from that yearโ€™s draft who isnโ€™t signed beyond this year. There are obviously some warning signs there.

โ€œItโ€™s not opportunity-based, heโ€™s played 11 games this season and 13 last year, had a good game recently with a couple of goals and 24 touches against North Melbourne.

โ€œHeโ€™s a really talented player. Thereโ€™s going to be clubs looking at him for sure and theyโ€™re all aware heโ€™s considering a move back home.โ€

Should Bruhn depart the Giants it would be another retention blow for the decade-old club, who have lost an array of stars to interstate clubs since their inauguration.
