AFL star Brodie Grundy has announced his engagement to his long-time physiotherapist Rachael Wertheim.
The Swans’ 29-year-old recruit let slip the exciting news during a press conference on Monday as he discussed a move from Melbourne to Sydney for the AFL.
“I was just so impressed with the Swans pitch and the first meeting I had, I walked out with my now fiancée and we were just blown away,” he told the media.
“We went out and thought it would be great to land in Sydney.”
The lovebirds grew up together in Adelaide and after they met, Rachael moved to Melbourne with Brodie when he was signed to Collingwood FC.
