Cole followed his standout 2024 campaign with another consistent year in 2025, adding 18 senior games as a reliable presence in West Coast’s developing backline. After overcoming the injury setbacks that derailed his 2022 and 2023 seasons, Cole continued to re-establish himself as a durable and dependable defender. His ability to limit opposition small forwards while providing composed rebound from defence remained a key asset for the Eagles’ structure. Cole’s professionalism and experience were further recognised with a one year contract extension through to the end of 2026, reinforcing his value as both a premiership player and an influential figure for the club’s emerging defensive group. At a Glance: Junior Clubs: Sandhurst (VIC). Debut: Round 10, 2016. Recruited from: Bendigo (VIC). Brownlow Votes: 0.
