From http://www.swig.org/Doc2.0/SWIGDocumentation.html#SWIG_adding_member_functions:

A little known feature of the %extend directive is that it can also be used to add synthesized attributes or to modify the behavior of existing data attributes. For example, suppose you wanted to make magnitude a read-only attribute of Vector instead of a method.

So in your example the following should work:

%extend Player {
    Entity entity;
}

%{
Entity* Player_entity_get(Player* p) {
  return p->get_entity();
}
void Player_entityProp_set(Player* p, Entity* e) {
  p->set_entity(e);
}
%}
