Josh Dunkley (born 9 January 1997) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Western Bulldogs Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
AFL career
Dunkley was drafted with the 25th selection in the 2015 national draft by the Western Bulldogs.[2] He is the son of former Sydney defender Andrew Dunkley[3] and was the first player under the new father–son drafting rules to have a draft bid placed on him, but the bid was not matched by his father's former club.[4] He made his AFL debut in round 1, 2016 against the Fremantle Football Club. He also scored his first AFL goal in that match.[1] After his performance against the North Melbourne Football Club in round 20 where he recorded nineteen disposals, four tackles, three clearances, and three inside-50s, he was the round nomination for the Rising Star.[5]
