After not playing any AFL games in 2021, he made his AFL debut as the medical substitute for Fremantle in round 2 of the 2022 AFL season against St Kilda. He entered the game in the final quarter after Sean Darcy injured his ankle [2] and kicked a spectacular goal from near the boundary line.

[4] O'Driscoll was sidelined prior to round 9 due to a stress fracture in his foot. [5]
Nathan returned to the line-up for Fremantle in the round 21 clash against the Western Bulldogs.
