Brad Moran (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bradley "Brad" Moran (born September 29, 1986 in England) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Born of English parents, his father Martyn was a former junior soccer player, and Moran moved to Australia with his family as a 15-year-old. After playing football with the Southport Sharks in Queensland, he was recruited to the elite level by the Kangaroos Football Club in the 2004 AFL Draft.

Wearing the famous number 18 guernsey, made famous by Kangaroos legend Wayne Carey, Moran made his debut in 2006 against Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium. He played a great game in one of the Roos' worst games of the year. He collected 21 disposals, 10 marks and 10 hitouts, which earned a nomination for the AFL Rising Star. He continued his good form into next week against Collingwood where the Roos where smashed in the second half.
