Who is Cameron Hitchcock?

Cameron Hitchcock is an Australian rules footballer who began his career on the rookie list for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL.

Cameron was born on the Eyre Peninsula in the little country town of Elliston, South Australia, and lived there before moving to Adelaide with his family and attending Sacred Heart College Senior, Adelaide.

He made his debut for Port in the opening round of the 2010 NAB Cup, impressing many with his pace and goal sense.

In his first season of AFL, Hitchcock was elevated onto the senior list and played in 17 games, kicking 20 goals. He won the Power's best first year player award.

He was upgraded to the main list for the 2011 season.

2011 was Camerons second season at AFL level and it was a season with mixed results but some positive signs for the future. His SANFL form during the year was very good. He proved to be a high quality player at SANFL level picking up 18 disposals and over 2 goals a game, playing through the midfield with stints up forward.

He played 13 AFL matches which covered a variety of form from poor to very good. His best games came late in the year against Melbourne and Adelaide. He picked up 20 disposals and 2 goals against the Demons in Darwin and followed up with 18 disposals and 3 goals against the Crows after the bye. But he couldn’t put that type of form together for longer periods of time.
