The Western Australian duo has put pen to paper on new deals, which was announced to the playing group ahead of their trip to Perth to take on West Coast.

Brisbane Lions General Manager Football, Danny Daly said the club was pleased to have both players remaining at Brighton Homes Arena.

“It is great to be able to reward James and Reece with a new contract as they both continue to work hard and have really developed their football,” Daly said.

“Jimmy’s perseverance and dedication in his five years with us is seeing him experience his best season yet, which is great to see.

“While Reece has produced some impressive football at VFL level and we hope he will keep pushing towards making his AFL debut.

“We look forward to having both players and their families remain part of the club.”

It’s a big week for Tunstill who has not only re-committed to the Lions but has also been selected to play his 10th AFL game of 2026 against the Eagles on Saturday.

Tunstill, 22, who hails from Busselton and was taken with Pick 41 in the 2021 draft from East Perth, said he is enjoying his football and is excited by the future.

The 22-year-old midfielder said he is enjoying his football and is excited by the future.

“It feels great to re-sign at this stage of the year and I feel like I’ve been playing my best football this season, so to get an extension is amazing,” Tunstill said.

“The reasons I decided to stay are pretty simple - I love the group of boys here, the entire staff and our loyal fans.

“The club is a place where you can come in and become a better player and person, and I feel like I have grown a lot over the last four-and-a-half years. 

“Brisbane is a successful club, and I believe that this group can continually push for finals each year.

“Seeing the boys win a couple of premierships has been great, but I would love to be out there with them in the battle.”

Torrent, another West Aussie talent who was drafted with Pick 64 in 2023 from Peel Thunder, said he is loving his football as a Lion.

The 20-year-old has been in strong form in the VFL and is determined another year at the club will help him further develop his game.

“I am very excited and grateful to have the opportunity to re-sign, which was an easy decision because I am in an environment I genuinely love coming into every day,” Torrent said.

“The culture we have here is great and I love getting to work with and learning off all the boys and coaching staff who I feel have helped me improve my game a lot.

“I will continue to do that and work hard so that when the opportunity comes, I can hopefully make an impact.”
