Point Cook has added some valuable experience to its line up with former AFL player Josh Carter joining the club.
The Western Football League division 1 club announced the signing of Carter, who had a successful AFL career.
“Josh is an exciting forward who played 178 games in the AFL, representing both the Western Bulldogs and West Coast Eagles, and kicking 224 goals,” the club said. “A key figure in the 2015 AFL grand final, Josh’s career has been nothing short of impressive.
“As a proud Indigenous man, Josh’s contributions extend beyond the field. Playing representative football with the Indigenous All-Stars is a career highlight, and he is eager to take on a leadership role within the club, particularly in promoting NAIDOC Week activities in 2025. “His passion for education and cultural awareness is sure to leave a lasting impact on the club and the community.
“Josh’s experience, mentorship, and dedication will be invaluable to our young playing group.”
Carter has been playing with St Albans most recently, firstly in the WFL and then in the Essendon District Football League.
He kicked five second half goals in a division 1 semi final last year, kicking more than 30 goals for the season.
Carter is the first new signing for the Bulldogs under new coach Saade Ghazi
Speaking after his appointment it would be a bit of a reset this year.
“The group has a lot of young talent that got a lot of opportunities,” he said. “There’s a bit of work to do to get back up the ladder
“We won’t throw everything out the door and hopefully we have some more luck with injuries.”
