Early career

At the end of 2015, Mannagh left the youth league team Murray Bushrangers to join amateur-level club North Albury in the Ovens & Murray Football Netball League. He was also recruited to Richmond's VFL reserves team, but did not receive a chance to join the senior list due to Richmond's success under Damien Hardwick in the late 2010s. While remaining on Richmond's VFL list, Mannagh returned to the Ovens & Murray League, this time playing for Lavington. [1] Mannagh then played for Werribee in the VFL, [2] where he kicked six goals from 28 disposals in a losing Grand Final against the Gold Coast Suns in 2023, being rewarded with the Norm Goss Memorial Medal. After a few years of attracting the attention of AFL clubs, his Grand Final performance was enough to enter the national draft as a mature-aged rookie. [3]

AFL career

Mannagh was drafted by Geelong in the 2023 AFL draft at pick 36 as a mature-aged recruit. [4] He made his senior debut at 26 years of age against St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium in round 1 of 2024. [5] He kicked his first career goal against Adelaide the next week at Adelaide Oval, before he was omitted from the team for Geelong's Easter Monday clash with rivals Hawthorn. [6]
