WEST Australian talent Reuben Ginbey furthered his top-10 credentials after being the dominant player in the testing at the NAB AFL Draft Combine.

The 189cm midfielder has progressed quickly throughout this season to be in many clubs' thoughts at the very top end of the draft and underlined his athleticism in the round of tests on Sunday in Melbourne.

Ginbey finished equal fourth in the vertical jump (leaping 70cm) and in the top-10 of the running vertical jump (83cm) test. He also placed in the top-five for the 2km time trial, completing the run in 6:15 minutes, and top-10 in the 20m sprint, recording a time of 2.928 seconds.

It showed the East Perth product's athletic upside, with Ginbey starting his season as a rebounding half-back before shifting into the midfield. He looks set to be a very early pick when names are called in November.
