Sebit Kuek (born 11 November 2000) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early Life
Sebit was born in Kenya to South Sudanese parents. He moved to Australia at the age of eight and spent two years in Melbourne, before settling in the Western Australian capital city of Perth. Kuek started playing Australian rules football at around age twelve, and played junior football for the East Perth Football Club Colts team.[1] He was a member of the West Coast Eagles Next Generation Academy[2] and made his league debut for East Perth during the 2020 WAFL season.[3]
Football Career
Sebit was drafted by Fremantle with their first pick, the 15th overall, in the 2022 mid-season draft.[4] He made his debut for Fremantle's West Australian Football League affiliate Peel Thunder later that year. Kuek continued to play for Peel during the 2023 WAFL season, a highlight being his six goal effort against the Perth Football Club in round ten.[5] Unfortunately, he suffered an ACL injury one month later playing against East Fremantle, and as a result was placed on the clubs long-term injury list.[6]
