Midfielder / Forward
2011
Brisbane Lions
Matt Austin, a skilled Australian rules footballer, has made a notable mark in the sport. Born on 30 March 1989, Austin began his professional career with the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). Primarily playing as a midfielder or half forward, he showcases versatility and agility on the field. Austin's journey into the AFL started when he was recruited from the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup during the 2007 AFL Draft, being selected as the 56th pick. His AFL debut came in round 9 of the 2009 season against the Adelaide Football Club. Despite facing challenges and being dropped after a few matches, Austin's determination and skill shone through, earning him a recall for the round 15 match against Geelong. In a surprising turn of events, Austin swapped his original number 37 guernsey for the prestigious number 8, previously worn by the retired Tim Notting. Off the field, Austin's interests expanded as he crossed paths with BBC Celebrity Chef Ainsley Harriot during his overseas ventures. This encounter led to a unique friendship where Austin delved into the world of kitchen craft and skills under Harriot's guidance. Despite being offered a TV spot on the UK version of Ready Steady Cook, Austin prioritized his AFL commitments, showcasing his dedication to the sport. Currently, Austin continues to showcase his talent on the field, playing for the Northern Ballarat Roosters, the North Melbourne Aligned VFL Team. With his blend of skills, determination, and unique experiences, Matt Austin remains a player to watch in the dynamic world of Australian football.
