Dylan Roberton

Who is Dylan Roberton?

Dylan Roberton is an Australian rules footballer for the St.Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League. He was selected with the 49th selection in the 2009 AFL National Draft from the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup by Fremantle.

Roberton started the 2010 season playing for East Perth in the WAFL and was named to make his AFL debut for Fremantle in the Round 6 Western Derby.

In 2011 he was used as Fremantle's first ever substitute player in their opening round match against the Brisbane Lions, replacing Rhys Palmer in the third quarter.

At the end of the 2012 season Roberton requested a trade from the Dockers to a Melbourne-based team. When a trade did not eventuate he was delisted from Fremantle and was then invited to train with St Kilda. He was signed as a "delisted free agent" on 30 November 2012 by the Saints. In January 2013 it was revealed that a major reason for Roberton wanting to return to Victoria was to be closer to his and his partner Amy's families. The couple's first son was born in November 2012.
