He was only introduced to Aussie Rules Football at the age of 14, and now, four years on, Gach Nyuon has an AFL contract with Essendon.
The Sudanese born teenager was pick number four in the AFL rookie draft with the Bombers realising his incredible potential in the ruck.
Nyuon is 199cm tall and according to Essendon’s website, possesses a relative running vertical jump of 94cm, which means he can reach an overall height of 362cm with a running leap. As you can see in the video above that puts him in rarefied air.
Essendon supporters have every right to be excited about their new recruit.
