Adam Cerra (born 7 October 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He formerly played for the Fremantle Football Club between 2018 and 2021.

AFL career

[edit]

After an impressive, but injury riddled junior career for Norwood in the Eastern Football League and Eastern Ranges in the TAC Cup,[1] he was then selected by Fremantle with their second selection, fifth overall, in the 2017 AFL national draft.[2]

Cerra made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the second round of the 2018 AFL season.[3] He was awarded the round 16 nomination for the 2018 AFL Rising Star award with 23 disposals, seven marks, six intercept possessions, five rebound 50s and three clearances.[4]

Cerra proved to be an important player for Fremantle, finishing 3rd in the club's best and fairest in 2020,[5] and 5th in 2021.[6] At the end of the 2021 season, Cerra requested a trade to Carlton.[7] He was traded on 7 October to Carlton for Pick 6 and a future third-round selection.[8]
