Early career

[edit | edit source]

Porter began his career at the Officer Kangaroos in the South East Juniors competition.[4] He played for the Gippsland Power for 2 seasons in 2016 and 2017.[5] He served as vice-captain and claimed the club's best-and-fairest medal in 2017, and finished seventh in the best-and-fairest count for the TAC Cup that year.[6][7] He also played one game for the Casey Demons during the 2017 VFL season.[1]

AFL

[edit | edit source]

Porter made his AFL debut in the Western Bulldogs' close win against the Gold Coast Suns in the eighth round of the 2020 AFL season.[8][9][10] Porter had 9 disposals and laid 4 tackles in his first game.[11] However, Porter suffered a minor shoulder injury and was taken out of the team for the next round.[12]

Porter was delisted by the Western Bulldogs at the conclusion of the 2020 AFL season, after just one AFL game over his three years at the club.[13][14]

VFL

[edit | edit source]

After being delisted, Porter joined the Box Hill Hawks in the VFL. He made his debut for the Hawks in round 1 of the 2021 VFL season against Casey, and played a total of seven games that season.[15]

In 2022, he played 19 games, including a career-best 45 disposals in round 18 against the Northern Bullants.[15][16] He won the club's best-and-fairest medal, the Col Austen Trophy.[17]

In 2023, Porter was appointed co-captain of the Hawks, serving alongside Hugh Beasley.[18] After Beasley retired at the end of the 2023 season, Porter was appointed sole captain for the 2024.[19] He is contacted to Box Hill until the end of 2025.[20]
