Conor Nash (born 28 July 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He signed with Hawthorn as a category B rookie in October 2016 in the 2016 rookie draft.

Sporting career[]

A former Meath minor footballer, in 2016 Nash was offered a Leinster rugby union academy contract, but instead opted to move Down Under.[1] Nash joined Hawthorn in late 2016 as a Category B rookie, having already represented Ireland U18 rugby side. He made his Box Hill debut in 2017. Nash suffered a severe hamstring injury that cause him to miss half his first season. He was elevated to the main Hawthorn list in July 2018.

AFL career[]

He made his debut for Hawthorn in the eleven point win against Geelong at MCG in round twenty one of the 2018 season.[2] His form was promising enough that the selectors kept him in the side and he played in two finals.

After initially playing his entire career as a forward, at the suggestion of Hawthorn assistant coach Sam Mitchell, Nash was deployed as a midfielder for Hawthorn's match against the Brisbane Lions on 1 August. In a career-performance, Nash collected 23 disposals, laid nine tackles and won seven clearances as Hawthorn defeated Brisbane 92-80. With Nash in the midfield Hawthorn was undefeated for the next 4 games beating Brisbane, Collingwood and Western Bulldogs and drawing with Richmond.[3]
