What is Andrew Merrington’s net worth?
Introduction
Andrew Merrington is a former Australian National Football player who became a financial consultant.
Australian National Football, or Australian Rules Football, is a form of football played on an oval field with an oval ball. There are 18 players on each team. Laws for the game were established in 1859, which – according to Wikipedia – makes them the “oldest of the world’s major football codes.”
The sport was formed around the organized football games played in Melbourne private schools.
How Merrington got into Australian Rules Football
Merrington’s father was Gary Merrington, a well-known fullback recruited by the Footscray team.
Merrington senior’s career spanned 1966 to 1975, after which he was recruited for the team and managed into the 90s.
Andrew followed in his father’s footsteps and started playing in his youth as part of club Strathmore’s Under 18 TAC cup football. He debuted in the league when he was 21 (in the year 2000) when he was recruited by the Carlton Football Club (also known as the Blues) in the National Draft.
Though his size and experience made Merrington a promising recruit, he ended up spending a solid portion of his career on the bench.
He played football for 3 years (18 games) before he was delisted.
Career: From Football to Finance
With his athletic career behind him, Merrington pivoted to the financial sector.
Currently, he works for the Cube Finance Group as a Mortgage Consultant.
