Player Bio

At a Glance

Junior Clubs: Maribrynong Park/Calder U18s
Debut: yet to debut
Recruited from: Calder Cannons 
Brownlow Votes: -

The left-footer played seven SANFL league games in his first year at Adelaide, showing glimpses of why he was included in the AIS-AFL Academy as a 17-year-old. A goalkicking onballer, Atkins can play at half-forward and also in the midfield. Should benefit from playing in the Crows system year-round.
