Archie Roberts (born 18 November 2005) is a professional Australian rules footballer with the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

AFL career

Roberts was drafted by Essendon with pick 54 in the 2023 national draft.[1]

Roberts made his AFL debut for Essendon in round 21 of his first season, against Fremantle at Marvel Stadium.[2] Roberts played four senior games in his first season, along with 14 VFL matches prior to his AFL debut.[3] Roberts rounded out his debut season by signing a contract extension, which saw an extra year added to his standard two year draftee contract, tying him to the club until the end of 2026.[4]

Ahead of the 2025 season, Roberts' second in the AFL, Roberts was chosen to take on retired Essendon champion Dyson Heppell's former guernsey number 21, moving up from the 38 he wore in his debut season.[5]
