About
The former West Australian youngster spent the 2006 season being groomed 
in the reserves after being drafted from the Claremont Colts. Has good skills 
and is expected to develop into a lively midfielder. Represented WA at 
under-18 level and has good skills on both sides of his body. Will be given time to develop.

Career
Well-balanced midfielder who was a high possession winner at Colts level in WA where he won the premiership with Peel Thunder and named best and fairest. Represented WA in under-18's and was selected in the WA Colts Team of the Year. Registered a 14.6 beep test at Draft Camp placing him in the top 10 per cent before drafted with the Swans second pick - 54 overall - in 2005. He got a taste of senior football in the pre-season and looked comfortable. Completed the season in the reserves and showed natural ability, clean hands and neat skills but the needs to improve his strength and speed to push for senior selection in 2007.

Draft history
2005 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Sydney) No. 54 overall.
