Long time Sydney list manager Kinnear Beatson has re-signed with the club, according to the Herald Sun.

He was strongly linked to the vacant position at Carlton, who are looking to replace list boss Stephen Silvagni.

The Blues were reportedly attempting to poach Beatson, who has evidently knocked back their advances.

Beatson has built a strong reputation, previously being a part of the list management at Brisbane during their three-peat.

He will remain with the Swans until at least the end of 2021.
