Joshua Worrell (born 11 April 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1][2]

Early life

[edit]

Born in High Wycombe, England, Worrell moved to Australia as an infant and grew up in Melbourne, attending first CBC St Kilda (St Mary's College) and then Haileybury. He played his junior football for Bentleigh Demons and East Brighton Vampires[3] and was drafted out of the Sandringham Dragons. In 2019 he represented Vic Metro at the under-18 championships and was the team's top goal-kicker.[4]

AFL career

[edit]

Worrell, a left-footed player, was selected by Adelaide with the 28th pick of the 2019 national draft. His league debut came in Cairns against St Kilda in 2021. He has since been used by the Crows as a medium defender, rather than his drafted position of forward.[5][6]

Worrell showed signs of becoming a breakout star defender for the Crows in 2024 until he broke his wrist in a drawn match against Brisbane Lions.[7] In "huge show of faith" by Adelaide, Worrell signed a two-year contract extension in the week following his injury.[8] He returned to the side wearing a wrist support in round 21 against Geelong, and had a strong finish to the season. Worrell averaged a career-best 18 disposals in 2024, ranked "elite".

He started the 2025 season strongly with a career-high 25 disposals against St Kilda. Worrell escaped a ban against Fremantle, receiving a fine for a dangerous tackle against Michael Frederick.[9] Teammate Mitch Hinge received a one-game suspension in the same match, and the following week, Worrell thrived with the additional defensive responsibilities against Carlton.[10] Worrell continued his career-best year and launched himself in All-Australian contention with a personal-best 27 disposals against Collingwood in round 23.[11][12] He was second in intercept possessions during the 2025 home-and-away season only behind teammate Mark Keane. Prior to the finals series, Worrell re-signed with the Crows, extending his contract until the end of 2033.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Worrell was the subject of a police investigation in July 2026 after his car struck a pedestrian on Port Road, Adelaide on his way to training.[14][15] He was later charged for the incident.[16]
