Matthew Flynn is an Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League. Flynn debuted at the age of 23 in Round 1 of the 2021 AFL season.[1]
Growing up in Narrandera in southern NSW, Flynn joined the Giants Academy at the age of 12. He was selected with pick 41 in the 2015 AFL Draft as a developing ruckman. Flynn didn't make his AFL debut in his first five years at the club, missing an entire year after an ACL injury in July 2019.[2] He then played 33 games from his debut in 2019, before he spent the end of the 2023 season playing in the VFL as the Giant's preferred Kieren Briggs as their first choice ruckman.[3]
At the end of the 2023 AFL season, Flynn joined West Coast as a free agent.[4] A hamstring injury during preseason delayed his debut for the Eagles until round 12 of the 2024 AFL season.[5]
