Who is Brad Lloyd?

Brad Lloyd is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Australian Football League during the 1990s.

Lloyd, a midfielder from Victorian Football League side Williamstown, had an impressive 1997 in the Hawthorn reserves and won the Gardiner Medal. Recruited by Hawthorn at the 1997 AFL Draft, Lloyd made his senior AFL debut in round two of the 1998 AFL season, when Hawthorn lost to Port Adelaide in Paul Salmon's 250th league game. Lloyd appeared in the last six rounds of the year and played briefly in 1999 but in all could only manage 11 games for the seniors while at Hawthorn. Lloyd never got to play a game against his brother, Essendon full-forward Matthew.

Lloyd was delisted by Hawthorn at the end of the 1999 season and returned to Williamstown, captaining the club from 2003 to 2006 and winning the Williamstown Best and Fairest award, the Gerry Callahan Medal, three times.

Following his retirement from football, Lloyd moved into football administration and currently works in the recruiting department for AFL club Fremantle Football Club.
