Jake Soligo (born 25 January 2003) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
Soligo was drafted by Adelaide with their second pick and the 36th pick overall in the 2021 AFL draft. He debuted in Adelaide's first game of 2022 against Fremantle as a substitute and collected 5 disposals in a narrow loss. In June of 2023, Soligo signed a six-year contract extension which would keep him at the Crows until 2029. At the time, this was the longest contract of any current Adelaide Crows player.
Prior to the 2024 season, Soligo badly rolled his ankle during preseason training. For this reason, he started as the medical substitute against Gold Coast in Round 1, but had maximum impact for his limited game time. In Round 8 of the 2024 season in the showdown against Port Adelaide, Soligo won the Showdown Medal and was the best on ground, with 28 disposals and 10 tackles. Soligo had a career-best season as an inside midfielder, becoming one of Adelaide's best players alongside Izak Rankine and captain Jordan Dawson. He finished third in the Malcolm Blight Medal and was awarded with the Mark Bickley Emerging Talent Award.
