| Career Highlights | |
Ryan "Fryrye" Gamble (born September 23, 1987 in Millicent, South Australia) is a current Australian rules football player with the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League[1].
Gamble played his junior football at the Mt Burr United Football Club, from the Mid South Eastern Football League (MSEFL) in South Australia, and at the Glenelg Football Club in the SANFL from the age of 17, predominately in the reserves, but gaining senior selection towards the end of the season. The Geelong Football Club drafted him with their third round selection in the 2005 AFL Draft (47th pick overall), making him the MSEFL's first AFL draftee[citation needed].
Gamble spent almost all of the 2006 season playing for the Geelong VFL team, rotating as a midfielder and forward, also noted as a prolific high-flyer[2]. He gained senior AFL selection for the final game of 2006. He has shown a high skill level, and his light frame (78kg) is the only thing likely to hinder him from gaining regular selection in the near future.
