The key details:
Name: Cody Angove
State: Western Australia
Drafted from: Western Australia | Claremont FC
Position: Midfielder/forward
Height: 182cm
Date of Birth: 28/05/2006
Bio: Angove is a midfielder/high half forward with an exciting athletic profile. He possesses a great combination of speed and endurance, which together with his footy smarts allows him to win the footy and impact games. After an injury interrupted start to the 2024 season with a leg injury, Angove returned to play all four games for Western Australia at the National Championships, averaging 12 disposals and being amongst his team’s best in the narrow loss to Victoria Country. A skilful distributor by hand or foot, he averaged 18.3 disposals and kicked 11 goals in 10 games at Colts level for Claremont. He was also amongst Claremont’s best in their recent grand final win over Swan Districts which saw him become a back-to-back premiership player. Highlighting his impressive athletic profile, Angove tested well in both the agility test (8.21 seconds) and 2km time trial (6:28) at the National Draft Combine.
What GIANTS Head of Talent Adrian Caruso says: “Cody provides great outside run combined with a high level of skill. He is a very light frame so will take some time to be physically ready but we believe his attributes suit how we want to play in complementing some of our inside players with his transition work-rate.”
