The Lions family welcomed a new cub on Wednesday, with Jarryd Lyons and partner, Savahna announcing the arrival of Lara Grace Lyons.

The pair took to social media, expressing their delight in the birth of their first daughter.

“Our beautiful girl, Lara Grace Lyons. 8/9/21,” Lyons said on Instagram.

A number of ‘JL’s present and former teammates were delighted in the news, with the likes of Brodie Smith, Patrick Dangerfield, Charlie Cameron and newly announced retiree, Grant Birchall throwing their support behind the post.

Lara’s arrival marks the third Lions cub born in 2021, with Cal Ah Chee and Keidean Coleman becoming first-time parents in July.

There’ll be no shortage of Father-Son-and-Daughter picks for the club in 2039 and 2040 with Lachie Neale and partner Jules expecting their first child in a matter of weeks, while Grant Birchall and his partner Brit are also expecting.
