Jayden Nguyen

A small, athletic utility who is probably best suited to defence at this stage, Nguyen impressed in 2024, averaging 19 touches for Calder Cannons and 14 disposals for Vic Metro. Has pace to burn, possesses natural attacking instincts and isn’t afraid to break the lines. Is a raw talent that needs time to develop and has been given a two-year contract to do so.
