Zach Tuohy (born 10 December 1989)〔(Carlton Blues Rookie player list )〕 is a professional Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League. Tuohy grew up in Ireland and played Gaelic football before making a code switch to Australian rules football. Tuohy began his sporting career as a Gaelic footballer at the Portlaoise club. He became a regular in Laois underage county sides.〔 He won a Leinster Minor Football Championship with them in 2007. Tuohy attracted the attention of Australian rules football recruiters from the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League, a club based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. During 2009, Tuohy travelled to Melbourne to undergo a four-week trial with the club. The club was sufficiently impressed, and offered Tuohy an International Rookie contract.〔(20 August 2009) (Tuohy ten weeks from AFL move )〕 This contract ensured Tuohy would be recruited by Carlton; he was then selected with the club's sixth round selection in the 2010 AFL rookie draft (#73 overall) as a formality.〔(Carlton Football Club 2010 Rookie Draftees )〕 Tuohy became the fourth Irish player to spend time on the Carlton list (and he would be only the second to play a senior game). Tuohy began the 2010 season playing in the club's , the Northern Bullants. He developed as a tagger, and then as a rebounding half-back. He was temporarily elevated to the senior list in place of the injured Luke Mitchell in early 2011,〔de Bolfo, T., (Irishman earns list elevation ), 27 April 2011, Retrieved 28 April 2011.〕 and he made his AFL debut in Round 11 against , and went on to played eleven games for the season. By 2012, he was a regular in the Carlton team, and in 2013 he played every match for the season and finished seventh in the club Best and Fairest. Over this time, Tuohy became noted for his long, accurate kicking, and regularly drifted from the backline to half-forward to kick long goals from beyond the 50m line; he had shown a similar aptitude for long-range kicking in Gaelic football, in which he was his county's designated kicker for 45m plus penalty kicks. Tuohy represented Ireland in International rules football in both the 2011 and 2013 series. He scored a goal in the first Test in 2013 at Breffni Park. ==See also== * List of Carlton Football Club players * List of players who have converted from one football code to another 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zach Tuohy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
