Cameron "Cam" McCarthy (born 1 April 1995) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited from the South Fremantle Football Club with pick 14 in the 2013 AFL Draft.
McCarthy who came from a cricket background and only recently started to focus on football being the last player to be chosen on the Western Australia Under 18 team in 2013, this was due to his talents in both Cricket and Football. He chose the AFL pathway after some inspiration from a South Fremantle colts coach.
He came to prominence with an impressive AFL Under 18 Championships with the highlight being when he kicked the after-the-siren winning goal for Western Australia against Vic Country in round four of the Championships, before suffering a broken leg in the final round against South Australia.[1]
He made his debut in round 23, 2014 against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium, McCarthy started the game as the substitute, but kicked a long goal from the boundary line with his first kick in AFL football.[2]
On 10 September 2015, news broke that McCarthy was requesting a trade to his home state of Western Australia,[3] the next day, Greater Western Sydney "categorically rejected" his trade request due to him being contracted until the end of the 2017 season.[4] Despite persistent efforts by Fremantle during the trade period,[5] he remained at Greater Western Sydney.[6]
After the failed bid to move to Fremantle during the home period. McCarthy decided to return to Western Australia due to homesickness and has not yet played in the 2016 AFL season. McCarthy has been training with South Fremantle Football Club while in Western Australia. He hopes to be traded to Fremantle Football club next season to stay close with friends and family.
