Essendon Football Club is pleased to announce Jordan Houlahan will join the Bombers, selected with pick number 49 in the NAB AFL Draft.
Jordan is an exhilarating 186cm forward, with the ability to take the big pack mark, as well as getting free and out the back for the easy one. For both South Australia and Sturt in the SANFL Reserves and Under 18s, Houlahan played up forward and was able to consistently find the goals and quite often with a spectacular moment or two thrown in.
His key strengths are his aerial ability, slick kicking skills and natural vertical leap which makes him a human highlight reel at either end.
