Buku Khamis became the Club's first Next Generation Academy recruit, added to the playing list as a pre-selected rookie in 2018. A relatively late bloomer in a football sense, Khamis, a refugee from South Sudan, moved to Australia in 2006 with his family and took up AFL in his last year of primary school. He is a product of the Bulldogs’ Next Generation Academy and was a participant in the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation’s Ready SETTLE Go (CALDPlay) program. The athletic defender has the ability to take on the game with his impressive running ability, and possesses clean skills. He has a strong intercept mark and reads the flight of the ball well. Made his career debut in round nine, 2021 against Carlton.
