Jake Florenca (born 25 January 2003) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for South Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) and once played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Football career

[edit]

During 2022, Florenca was listed among 20 players from the West Australian Football League (WAFL) on West Coast's COVID contingency list as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Prior to round 8 of the 2022 season, Florenca was listed as an emergency for the Eagles and set to fly to Brisbane in case a late withdrawal was announced. He received his unexpected chance to play that weekend against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba as he became one of seven changes made to the Eagles' team that week.[2]

Florenca debuted with 19 disposals and 7 tackles in the loss.[3]

He became a premiership playing in the WAFL with South Fremantle when his team defeated East Perth in a narrow Grand Final win. Florenca kicked a goal in the decider held at Optus Stadium.[4][5]
