AFL Career

Draper was signed as a Category B Rookie from Fremantle's Next Generation Academy in the 2022 AFL draft. He qualified due to Ethiopian heritage on his mother's side. [1]

He played for the reserve side, Peel Thunder in the WAFL for his first two seasons at the club. [2] In Round 1 of the 2024 AFL season Fremantle conceded two injuries to key defenders Brennan Cox and Oscar McDonald. [3] This provided Draper with his opportunity to debut for the senior team in round 2 of the 2024 AFL season in a game against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. [4] On debut, Draper collected 7 disposals in a 26 point win away from home. [5] Due to this solid performance on debut, Draper kept his spot in the team for Fremantle's round 3 clash with Adelaide in the west. Draper played even better in this match collecting 14 disposals and 4 marks. Josh made the journey east for Fremantle's two week stint in Adelaide, first facing Carlton in the Gather Round, and Port Adelaide the following week.
