English was taken with the Western Bulldogs' first selection in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft, pick 19 overall and made his senior debut for the Club in Round 10 against St.Kilda. Cited as the most talented ruckman available in the 2016 draft pool by experts, the 205cm English boasts genuine midfield presence. Agile and athletic, the 19-year-old West Australian impressed scouts with his ability to cover the ground and pick up possessions – he averaged 15.6 disposals and 22.8 hitouts per contest for the WAFL Colts according to Champion Data. A very good kick for his size, English also possesses exceptionally clean hands and his follow up from his ruck work is first class. English finished 2017 having played two senior games, and 15 VFL games where he averaged 13 disposals, four marks and 18 hitouts per contest. The West Australian added a further seven senior games to his resume in 2018, before a breakout season in 2019. English played 20 AFL matches in his third year as a Bulldog after seven games across his first two seasons, impressing with his competitiveness in the air, mobility around the ground and follow-up efforts around the ball. English has started to look at home at the top level – and committed to a two-year extension in 2019 to call VU Whitten Oval home until the end of 2022.
