    Early Career

    Will played his junior football at PHOS Camden Football Club. He moved to Glenelg for a year before moving on to West Adelaide. In 2019 he played for South Australia in the under 18 national championships, as well as playing three reserves games. [2]

    AFL Career

    Day's AFL career was initially hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a young player coming into the system Day would normally start by playing with the Hawthorn affiliate Box Hill Hawks, but because that competition had been suspended for the year he had to show his mettle with scratch matches against other AFL clubs.

    Day made his AFL debut in round 6, 2020, against Collingwood at the Spotless Stadium. [3]
