After a booting 15 goals in his opening five games in 2018, Menzel's season hit a snag when a groin injection went awry and he didn't appear again for Geelong until round 17.

The Swans' head of football Charlie Gardiner said the club was looking forward to welcoming Menzel to Sydney.

“Dan is a great talent and a proven performer at senior level with Geelong. He brings a wealth of footy experience to our group and we are confident he can add real value to our squad,” Gardiner said.

“Dan has shown tremendous character to work through his injury challenges in his career to date and has shown in his past three seasons that he’s still got a lot to offer at senior level. We hope that a change of scene and a new environment will only strengthen his football.

“Dan will add to our attack and our scoring ability and has a lot to offer our team and our young and emerging forwards.”
