Aaron Joseph (born 4 July 1989) is an Australian rules footballer who played with the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early career

Joseph is a midfielder who played junior football in Tasmania with the

2008 Rookie Draft. He then spent the 2008 season playing exclusively with Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants
.

AFL career

Joseph first appeared for Carlton in the

Gary Ablett, Jr., and was made a nominated rookie for the 2009 season. He made his debut in the first round of the season, and played several tagging roles early in the season. He received a Rising Star nomination in Round 11 after tagging St Kilda's Stephen Milne out of the game, and earning 19 disposals himself.[2] He would go on to play every game for the season, win the Blues' Best First Year Player award, and finish tenth in the best and fairest.Note 1, [3]

Joseph was promoted from the rookie list to the senior list in the 2009/10 offseason.[4] He had another solid season, playing 22 of 23 games and again finishing tenth in the best and fairest.

Joseph fell out of favour in early 2011, spending the majority of the first half of the season playing with the Bullants, but regained his regular place in the team in the latter part of the season to play eleven games for the season.

He was delisted by Carlton at the end of the 2013 season. He signed a deal to play for Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League from 2014,[5] spending six seasons, playing 98 games and winning one premiership with the club before retiring at the end of 2019.[6]

Notes

:1.^ Joseph was eligible for the Best First Year Player award, even though it was his second season on the Carlton list, because he played his first AFL game in 2009.
