Noah Cumberland (born 15 March 2001) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

Cumberland was raised on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, where he attended Mountain Creek State High School[1] and played junior football for Maroochydore.[2] He was also a member of the Brisbane Lions Academy[3] and played part in their victorious 2019 NEAFL Grand Final team where he kicked two goals.[4] The Lions would eventually choose to pass on their opportunity to draft Cumberland when Richmond placed a bid on him.[5]

AFL career

Cumberland was drafted by Richmond with the 43rd overall pick in the 2019 AFL Draft.[6] He was delisted at the end of the 2021 season without having played a match at AFL level, but was re-drafted as a rookie by Richmond before the 2022 season.[7][8] He made his AFL debut as the unactivated medical substitute in round 11 of the 2022 season, before playing his first AFL game in round 16's loss to Gold Coast.[9][10][11]
