ABOUT ISAAC

11 August 1998

At the age of 24, Isaac is the youngest athlete to be inducted into the FWSHF as a Far West Champion. Born and raised in Broken Hill, Isaac was no stranger to competition, playing as many sports as Broken Hill had to offer, including cricket, soccer, basketball, golf and AFL.

You could argue that Isaac’s competitive nature was inspired by his family. He and his older brothers, Jacob and Harrison, and his younger sister, Eliza, were very close growing up and you could assume there were many backyard “friendlies” between siblings.

Isaac credits his parent, Brett and Melissa, for supporting and encouraging him to pursue his sporting opportunities. As he grew older, he was presented with more opportunities to compete in bigger and better competitions and carnivals around the country and it was at these carnivals that Isaac’s hunger to play sport professionally developed, setting his sights on AFL. Throughout his teenage years, Isaac worked tirelessly every day to make his dream a reality. Isaac made his AFL Broken Hill league debut in 2015 at age 16, playing a total of 15 league games.

In 2016, Isaac’s hard work and sacrifice was rewarded, he was drafted to the Greater Western Sydney Giants at pick 20. He then made the move to Sydney and worked to develop his craft, making his AFL debut in 2018. Isaac has become a mainstay in the GWS Giants defence and is continuing to prove his worth in the side, making his family and community proud.
