Mabior Chol Biography

Mabior Chol is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on January 29, 1997 in Sudan. Mabior Chol, born 29 January 1997, is a professional Australian rules soccer player who plays for the Richmond Football Club (AFL). In the 2016 rookie draft, Richmond drafted him and he made his debut in round 23 2016. Chol was immediately delisted by the club after being drafted in round 23, 2016. Chol was a Richmond reserve side player who won the VFL premiership in 2019.

In the club’s pre-season match against Fremantle in 2016, he was Richmond’s first representative. As a result, he was not selected at senior level. Instead, he spent the majority of his season playing for the VFL reserves team. He played a variety of roles there, including key defender, key forward, and ruck. In round 23 against Sydney at Sydney Cricket Ground, Chol made his AFL debut. Chol became the fourth player from Sudanese descent to play senior AFL football (after Majak Dw, Aliir Aliir, and Reuben William).

Over the 2017 pre-season Chol focused on developing his body, looking to add muscle weight and to improve his endurance running. Injuries to key forwards early in the season saw Chol in contention for a senior call-up, but coach Damien Hardwick told the media he was hesitant to play the “inexperienced” Chol. In late July Chol was involved in a training mishap, accidentally poking forward Jack Riewoldt in the eye and causing him to miss two matches as a result. By season’s end Chol had failed to play senior football that year. He did however contribute in the reserves, kicking 13 goals over 22 matches including in the team’s losing grand final.

Chol played his first football of 2018 in February, travelling to Sydney to play in Richmond’s AFLX squad for that year’s exhibition series. In the pre- season tournament he played in one match and kicked one goal, playing a majority of the game as Richmond’s lead ruck after Toby Nankervis suffered concussion early in that match. His performance earnt the praise of Seven Network commentator Tim Watson, who predicted he would be playing AFL level football for Richmond by season’s end. While he did not earn immediate selection, he would be named as an emergency for the first time in round 3. In early June Chol suffered a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his foot while landing from a mark in training. The surgery and resulting recovery was expected to see him in a stabilising moon boot for three weeks and sideline him from matches for eight to ten weeks. By early-July he had resumed walking free of the boot and by late-August he was approaching the final stages of aerobic conditioning prior to a footballing return. Chol eventually made his return to VFL football in Richmond’s semi-final loss to Essendon, which brought to an end his and the club’s reserves season after playing eight matches and kicking 11 goals. He had failed to earn a senior match that year and the club subsequently delisted him at the end of the season. As part of the announcement, club officials said they would consider their options in regards to Chol, while The Age reported that Chol would be reselected by Richmond in the coming rookie draft should he fail to be recruited by another club in the interim. These reports proved correct when Chol was re-drafted to Richmond with the 45th pick in the 2019 rookie draft.

Chol was a strong performer at the 2015 AFL Draft Combine. He recorded the highest standing vertical jump score (334cm), and placed second in the running vertical leap test (357cm), and fourth in relative running vertical jump tests (90cm). In the 30 metre repeat sprint test, Chol finished second to his future teammate Daniel Rioli (24.3 seconds). Adrian Fletcher, the Queensland academy coach, praised him for his positional versatility as well as his marking prowess.
