Introduction
Jake Soligo (born 25 January 2003) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL). Known for his precise kicking and his friendship with teammates such as Josh Rachele, Soligo has become an integral part of Adelaide's team as they look to contend for the premiership once again.
AFL career
Soligo was drafted by Adelaide with their second pick and the 36th pick overall in the 2021 AFL draft. He debuted in Adelaide's first game of 2022 against Fremantle as a substitute and collected 5 disposals in a narrow loss. In June of 2023, Soligo signed a six-year contract extension which would keep him at the Crows until 2029. At the time, this was the longest contract of any current Adelaide Crows player.
Prior to the 2024 season, Soligo badly rolled his ankle during preseason training. The Club is hopeful that he will be fit to play in Adelaide's first game of the season for the third year in a row.
