Broke through for his AFL debut in Round 2, 2020 against St Kilda, and went on to play 12 senior matches. Was named the Chris Grant Best First-Year player that year. Managed a further 11 games last season, including the elimination final, semi-final and preliminary final. Was also the unused medical sub in the Grand Final at Optus Stadium.
