NewConnor Rozee shares huge news about fiancee amid whirlwind month for new AFL captain…
Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee is living the definition of a whirlwind after revealing fiancee Maisie Packer is expecting their first baby. The 23-year-old took to social media on Friday to announce the wonderful news, uploading a photo of himself and Packer holding her belly.
The baby news comes amid a whirlwind few weeks for Rozee, who was handed the Port Adelaide captaincy earlier this month before signing an eight-year contract extension. He also popped the question to Packer back in October, just a few weeks after the end of the AFL season.
Earlier this month, Rozee was announced as the Power’s eighth skipper in club history, taking over the No.1 jumper from the recently retired Tom Jonas. It was also confirmed that the 23-year-old has signed a monster eight-year contract that ties him to the club until the end of 2032.
He revealed how Aussie cricket star Travis Head, who has captained South Australia since he was young, has helped him with his leadership aspirations. The pair struck up a relationship through former Power assistant coach Nathan Bassett two years ago.
“(Head) is someone I can reach out to with questions more than anything,” Rozee said. “(Bassett) set us up with someone outside the football club to learn a bit of extra leadership stuff off.
“I love my cricket, so that was a good relationship for me. When (Head) is back in Adelaide we’re able to catch up and have discussions about not only leadership but just life in general and any questions that I’ve got.”
