Billy Wigmore earns All-Australian honors while working as a carpenter

Billy Wigmore, an 18-year-old intercept defender for the Western Jets, has been recognized for his exceptional play during the season. He received All-Australian selection after a strong campaign in the under-18 carnival for Vic Metro. In addition to his football commitments, Wigmore has maintained a full-time job as a carpenter, working on renovations of his family's home. He averaged 9.5 intercepts per game in the Talent League and has modeled his game after Geelong's Tom Stewart, highlighting the influence of professional players on his development. Wigmore will be among those expected to be drafted later this month.
