Career highlights

Dennis Armfield (born 22 December 1986) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League from 2008.

Armfield was a rugby union player for most of his junior years. After converting to Australian football, he joined the Swan Districts Football Club in Western Australia in 2002, playing as a utility/midfielder. He worked his way through the Swan Districts junior ranks, and in 2006 was awarded the club's rookie of the year award, as well as being best on ground in the 2006 reserves grand final. He played all twenty games for the Swans' seniors in 2007.

Armfield nominated for the 2007 AFL National Draft. He was noted for his fast pace, and a strong tackling style remnant from his rugby union background. He was selected by the Carlton Football Club with a third round selection (#46 overall), at the age of almost twenty-one years, rather old for a National Draft selection. Armfield made his debut in round 10 against Geelong Football Club.
