About Corey Ellis

Corey Ellis (born 9 October 1996) is a former professional Australian rules football player for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
He previously played 27 matches over four years at Richmond after being drafted there with the 12th overall pick in the 2014 AFL National Draft.
Ellis played junior football at Keilor in the Essendon District Football League. He played alongside fellow future AFL player Jayden Laverde in eight consecutive premierships, and was awarded best on ground honours on four occasions.
Though he missed the national combine in his draft year as a result of the foot injury, he remained a highly ranked prospect. He was particularly praised for his positional versatility, ball use and decision-making skills.
