Nick Bryan (born 22 October 2001) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

AFL career

[edit]

Bryan was drafted by the Essendon Football Club with the 38th overall selection in the 2019 AFL draft.[1] Having spent his first season developing in the reserves, he made his debut in round 7, 2021, against Carlton.[2][3]

Bryan played only 19 games across his first five seasons in the AFL due to injury and developing in the VFL; however, he won Essendon's VFL best and fairest award in 2021,[4] and he was named in the VFL team of the year in 2024.[5] Bryan started the 2025 AFL season alongside Sam Draper as Essendon's first-choice ruck pairing.[6][7] However, in round 5, Bryan suffered a ruptured ACL ruling him out for the season.[8][9] Whilst rehabilitating from his injury, Bryan signed a two-year contract extension to remain at Essendon until the end of 2027.[10]
