Early life and junior football
[edit]Kyle grew up in the Northern Sydney to Victorian parents and attended Scots College.[1][2] He participated in rugby union, basketball and swimming, only playing Australian rules football occasionally prior to switching codes in 2024.[2] He joined the Sydney Swans Academy that same year, after emailing and being given a four-week try-out.
He played his first full season of junior football in 2025, for the UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs,[3][4] and was invited to the 2025 AFL Draft Combine.[5] He was also picked for the 2025 AFL National Championships, as a member of the Allies,[6] and was a part of their line-up for the entire championship.[7][8]
AFL career
[edit]Kyle was recruited to the Sydney Swans with the 14th draft pick during the 2025 national draft.[9] He made his debut in Round 12 of the 2026 AFL season against Richmond, replacing an injured Callum Mills.[10] He kicked his first goal in the AFL during the team's Round 24 clash against North Melbourne.[11]
