Darcy Tucker (born 23 January 1997) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), after previously playing for the Fremantle Football Club.

Early career

[edit]

Originally from Horsham, Victoria, he played for the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup Under 18s competition and also for the Horsham Saints Football Club in the Wimmera Football League.[1] He was recruited to Fremantle with their first selection, 27th overall, in the 2015 AFL draft.[2]

AFL career

[edit]

He made his AFL debut in Round 5 of the 2016 AFL season, against Carlton at Domain Stadium, after playing well for Fremantle's reserves team, Peel Thunder, in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).[3] Round 7 of the 2022 AFL season saw Tucker play his 100th game during Fremantle's 3 point win over Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.[4] Tucker was traded to North Melbourne alongside teammate Griffin Logue following the 2022 AFL season.[5]

Darcy missed North Melbourne's first two games of the 2023 AFL season due to a minor injury sustained during the pre-season. He made his debut for the Kangaroos in Round 3 against Hawthorn named as the substitute. He entered the game in the third quarter replacing the injured Hugh Greenwood, and had an immediate impact kicking a goal. He played his first full game for North the next week collecting 24 disposals and four inside 50s.[6]
