Patrick Voss (born 29 June 2003) is an Australian rules footballer who plays with the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early career
[edit]Voss grew up in the Riverina region of New South Wales, which enabled him to join the Greater Western Sydney Giants junior academy program.[1] He later moved to boarding school in Melbourne where he attended Wesley College in Glen Waverley and played for the Oakleigh Chargers in the Under 18's Talent League[2].
AFL Career
[edit]Essendon (2022–2023)
[edit]He was drafted by Essendon with the ninth selection in the 2022 rookie draft. He spent two years at Essendon, but did not make his AFL debut before being delisted at the end of the 2023 AFL season.[3]
Fremantle (2024–)
[edit]2024 season
[edit]Voss was one of four players invited to train with Fremantle before the 2024 AFL season. He was eventually successful in being selected during the pre-season supplemental selection period.[4] In late April he was picked to play his first AFL game against the Western Bulldogs in round 7 of the 2024 AFL season.[5] He achieved the rare feat of kicking a goal with his first kick. Voss signed a two-year contract extension at the seasons end, to remain at Fremantle until at least 2026.[6]
2025 season
[edit]Voss had a strong start to his second year at Fremantle, playing 4 out of the first 5 games, competing in the forward line and as a second ruck. He collected 10 disposals, 9 hit-outs and kicked a goal in round five against Richmond, which was played at Lyndoch Recreation Park in Adelaide, due to the AFL's annual Gather Round. Unfortunately, Voss received a three-match suspension after the game, due to accidentally hurting Richmond player, Nick Vlastuin, during a tackle.[7][8]
