Ryan Abbott (born 25 June 1991) is a former professional Australian rules footballer playing for Geelong and St Kilda in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Abbott is from Grovedale, Victoria.[1] He played basketball from 14 and continued until 21. Abbott later played for the Grovedale Tigers in the Geelong Football League, winning consecutive best and fairests.[2] He also played for Geelong's Victorian Football League (VFL) side,[3] performing well against Jake Spencer, an AFL-listed ruckman for Melbourne.[2] Abbott was selected by Geelong with pick 69 in the 2016 national draft.[4] He fractured his leg in a marking contest at training, which was expected to sideline him until January 2017.[5] Abbott returned, but suffered a stress fracture in his back.[6] He played 15 VFL games in 2017[4] and came seventh in Geelong's VFL best and fairest.[7] In 2018, Abbott was selected for his AFL debut in round 20 against Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He matched up with Toby Nankervis, recording 22 hitouts and two goals.[8]
He was delisted by Geelong at the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season, but was subsequently signed as a delisted free agent by St Kilda.[9] He was then delisted by St Kilda at the conclusion of the 2020 AFL season after playing just 1 game for them.[10]
