Junior football career

Hoskin-Elliott played junior football for North Sunshine in the Western Region Football League. [1] During his time at the club he kicked 223 goals in 106 games, including 66 goals in the 2005 season, during which he won the Under-12 Division 3 best and fairest award. Three years later, in the 2008 season, Hoskin-Elliott won the Under 16 Division 2 best and fairest award. [2]

Afterwards, Hoskin-Elliott joined the Western Jets in the TAC Cup. In the 2010 TAC Cup season, he played seven matches. [3] He played only 12 matches in the 2011 TAC Cup season, but finished second in the club's best and fairest vote. [4] Hoskin-Elliott represented Vic Metro in the 2011 AFL Under 18 Championships, including being selected among the best in their matches against Vic Country [5] and against Western Australia, [6] and was selected for the All-Australian team. [7]

Senior football career

Greater Western Sydney

Hoskin-Elliott was drafted by Greater Western Sydney with the fourth overall selection in the 2011 national draft. [8] He made his debut in Greater Western Sydney's inaugural season, in 2012, [9] playing in the opening round of the season against Sydney, kicking one of the club's five goals. [10] During the 2014 season, Hoskin-Elliott showed his promise, kicking 26 goals in 20 games. [11] However, due to soft-tissue injuries, he only managed to play 11 games in the 2015 season and the first two games of the 2016 season. [11] His last game at the club, a win against Geelong in the second round, saw him take a screamer which was a Mark of the Year contender. [12]

Collingwood

At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Hoskin-Elliott was traded to Collingwood for their second round pick of the 2017 AFL draft. [11] [13] Collingwood's list manager, Derek Hine, said that he "is an elite talent, someone we thought highly of as a junior and a player we have tracked throughout his career." [14] Hoskin-Elliott kicked a career-high six goals in the round 11 victory over Fremantle during the 2018 season. [15] [16] He made his 100th AFL appearance in the 2018 grand final against West Coast at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. [17] Hoskin-Elliott missed the beginning of the 2019 season following minor surgery on his left iliotibial band. [18] In February 2019, he signed a contract extension, keeping him at Collingwood until the end of the 2022 season. [19]

Personal life

Hoskin-Elliott's great-great grandfather Charlie Norris was a three-time premiership player, once for Collingwood in 1910 and twice for Fitzroy in 1913 and 1916. [20] Hoskin-Elliott grew up supporting Collingwood [14] while living in West Sunshine, a suburb in the west of Melbourne. [18] He married his high school sweetheart, Kirstie, in October 2017, and she gave birth to their first child, Flynn, in May 2018. [18] [21] [22] This was followed by a daughter, Ivy, in April 2021.
