Marcus Kotronis re-signs for 2026

The Essendon Royals are pleased to confirm that Marcus Kotronis has re-signed with the club for the 2026 season.

Kotronis has been with the club since U16s, and burst onto the senior scene midway through the 2024 campaign, after a prolific run in the U23s. 

Last season he graduated from promising prospect to first team regular, making 21 appearances, scoring four league goals, and providing energy and drive down the Royals’ left flank.

Kotronis joins Takumi Niwa, Dean Clarke and Brad Norton in committing to Mick Ferrante’s squad for next year.

We look forward to seeing Marcus back in Royals colours in 2026!
