Jordan Boyd (born 22 September 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
Early career
Boyd played his junior football for Western Region Football League club Spotswood. He went through the Maribyrnong Sports Academy's AFL program,[2] and worked through the reserves to become a senior player at Spotswood by 2018 – which even he believed at the time was the highest level his football career would reach.[3] Throughout his junior career, he was never a part of the AFL's elite talent junior pathways and never played in the NAB League – something which was very rare among footballers who played in the AFL in the 2020s.[2]
In 2019, Boyd was given a chance to play with Footscray (the Western Bulldogs reserves team]]) in the Victorian Football League. He played games with Footscray until mid-2021.[2]
AFL career
Boyd was drafted to the AFL by Carlton at No. 20 in the 2021 mid-season rookie draft. He played his first AFL game in round 3 of the 2022 season, playing seven games that year before two foot fractures ended his season. He returned to the senior team in round 10 of the 2023 season, playing nine games.[4][5]
From as early as his time at Spotswood, Boyd's greatest strength was noted as his long, accurate kicking. He began his senior career as a medium forward,[2] but by 2023 was being used primarily as a rebounding defender.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Herald Sun|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Carlton’s Jordan Boyd on his development from Spotswood to AFL
