Jake Soligo (born 25 January 2003) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
[edit]Soligo was drafted by Adelaide with their second pick and the 36th pick overall in the 2021 AFL draft.[1] He debuted in Adelaide's first game of 2022 against Fremantle as a substitute and collected 5 disposals in a narrow loss.[2] In June of 2023, Soligo signed a six-year contract extension which would keep him at the Crows until 2029.[3] At the time, this was the longest contract of any current Adelaide Crows player.[4]
Prior to the 2024 season, Soligo badly rolled his ankle during preseason training.[5] For this reason, he started as the medical substitute against Gold Coast in Round 1, but had maximum impact for his limited game time. In Round 8 of the 2024 season in the showdown against Port Adelaide, Soligo won the Showdown Medal and was the best on ground, with 28 disposals and 10 tackles.[6] Soligo is having a career-best season as an inside midfielder, becoming one of Adelaide's best players alongside Izak Rankine and captain Jordan Dawson.
