Career

After managing 7 League matches in 2018, Brad Close was quick to become a mainstay in Glenelg’s forward 50m arc after featuring in all 21 of the Bays matches en route to earning a 2019 Premiership Medal. Famously Close is seen in photos sporting a black eye from the Grand Final which came from friendly fire in the first quarter.

From Mount Gambier originally, he is a silky-mover who plays an unselfish style of play to feed his team-mates in front of goal.

He was recruited by the Geelong Cats with the 14th pick in the 2019 rookie draft. Perhaps fortunate to secure a League debut due to injuries to other Geelong players, Close made good use of his opportunity, featuring in 8 games in his first season.
