Petruccelle attended Marymede Catholic College.

[3] He has been described as a 'line-breaking, high-leaping runner'. [4] He made his AFL debut in the eight point win against Fremantle at Optus Stadium in round six of the 2018 AFL season. [5] In May 2018, Petruccelle signed a two-year contract extension with West Coast, tying him to the club until 2020.
