Gerald Ugle[1] (born 31 January 1993) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Ugle has several relatives with AFL experience; former West Coast Eagles player Troy Ugle is his great uncle and former Collingwood player Kirk Ugle is his first cousin.[2]

Early life

He began attending Guildford Grammar School in year 9 on an Indigenous scholarship. Playing on the football team, he eventually captained the school football team. He graduated year 12 in 2010.[2][3]

As a 15-year-old he won the reserves best and fairest award for Beverley Football Club in the Avon Football Association despite missing large parts of the season.[4]

Ugle represented Western Australia at 2009 U-16 and 2010 U-18 National Championships.[5] He made his West Australian Football League (WAFL) league debut for Шаблон:WAFL Per in round 23 of the 2010 season.[6]

AFL career

Ugle was selected as a 17-year-old by Greater Western Sydney in October 2010.[7] In July 2012, Ugle made his AFL senior debut against Fremantle, the team he supported as a child.[5][8]

In September 2013, he was delisted by the Giants, having played three AFL matches in his two years at the club.[9]

Post AFL career

After being delisted by the Giants, Ugle re-joined WAFL club Perth, signing a two year contract with the Demons in November 2013.[10] However, after one season with Perth, Ugle moved to Peel Thunder for the 2015 season.[11][12]

With the retirement of Brendon Jones, Ugle was appointed Peel's captain for the 2016 season.[13] Ugle captained Peel to back-to-back WAFL premierships in 2016[14] and 2017,[15] defeating Subiaco on both occasions.

Season 2019 saw Ugle relinquish the captaincy to former Essendon midfielder and reigning Thunder best and fairest Ben Howlett, with Ugle taking on a mentor role to the leadership group.[16]
