Bio: Athletic and versatile tall who can play at either end and in the ruck. Exceptionally quick for his size and strong in the air. Amazing natural leap. Learning the game and improving rapidly, booting 8 goals in the final three rounds of the TAC Cup in 2009. His 3.03sec 20m and level 13.6 beep test were impressive for a tall forward at the Victorian screening along with his standing jump of 70cm (top 14 per cent).

In his own words
What type of player are you?
Tall, athletic, mobile link man who can play in many positions. Good overhead mark who uses my leap well.
Which AFL player do you most resemble and why?
Paddy Ryder because he uses his leap and jumps into opponents well. He's also very mobile and athletic. I believe I show similar attributes and skills as him.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
Strong hands and great use of my jumping ability.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
I am very limited in my football because I have only been playing for four years. Reading the game and the way the play unfolds.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far and why?
Joey Halloren. He is a friend who I have played football with in junior level at Wyndhamvale and Western Jets. He helps me understand how to play football and also gives me support but has also been my taxi driver to training sessions and games.
