Josh Worrell

Josh Worrell has established himself as a dynamic key defender for the Adelaide Football Club, demonstrating consistent performance and a strong work ethic. After being named leading goalkicker for Vic Metro at the 2019 Under-18 Championships with four goals against Western Australia and three against South Australia, Josh Worrell was drafted by the Adelaide Football Club with the 28th pick in the 2019 national draft. He made his Australian Football League (AFL) debut in June 2021 against St Kilda in Cairns, successfully transitioning from an initial forward role to establish himself as a medium defender. Worrell’s career progression continued in 2023, where he played 12 games despite overcoming a pre-season hamstring injury.

His long-term commitment to the club was underscored by a two-year contract extension signed in 2023, followed by a significant six-year extension until the end of 2033, signed prior to the 2025 finals series, highlighting the Adelaide Football Club’s profound confidence in his future as a key defender.
