Jaeger O'Meara (born 23 February 1994) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early life
O'Meara began playing football for Railways Football Club in the Great Northern Football League. He competed for the Railways senior team in their 2010 GNFL Grand Final win and lined up on future Gold Coast Suns teammate Jack Martin. He was awarded the Guardian Medal for his best on ground performance at 16 years of age.[1] O'Meara was then recruited by the Perth Football Club for the 2011 WAFL season and made his senior debut in August.
He was taken with the first selection in the 2011 incentive AFL Mini Draft, a special draft of players who were too young to be eligible for selection in the main 2011 AFL Draft. Gold Coast obtained the first selection in the mini draft by trading their first selection, the fourth overall, to the new Greater Western Sydney team.[2]
As part of the mini-draft rules, O'Meara was unable to play for the Gold Coast Suns in the 2012 season, but did play for them in the 2012 NAB Cup preseason competition and then with the reserve team in the North East Australian Football League.[3] He underwent groin surgery that prevented him from playing for the rest of the season.[4]
AFL career
O'Meara made his debut in the opening round of the 2013 AFL season and was awarded the 2013 AFL Rising Star nomination in Round 5.[5] He re-signed with the Suns for a further two seasons midway during the year.[6] After playing every game for the Suns during his stunning debut season, he was subsequently named the NAB AFL Rising Star for 2013.[7] Since making his debut in Round 1, 2013 O'Meara hadn't missed a game playing a possible 44 out of 44 games as of Round 23, 2014, but missed Round 1, 2015 after knee surgery.
