D.O.B:    
13th October 1988
Club:    
Essendon 
Honours:    
2007 NAB AFL Draft Pick No. 54
2008 AFL Debut

Recruited from East Fremantle, Cale is a tall key position player who is good in a contested situation with a strong pair of hands. He is quick and agile for his size and has good endurance.

The tall but lightly framed forward prospect, debuted during round 21 of the 2008 season and  benefited immensely from the experience. In his first game and during his first season, Hooker found himself playing on more experienced, bigger and stronger players.

Hooker played 15 games during the 2009 season and was far better equipped to hold down a key position.

Having signed a two-year contract with the Bombers, Cale promises to be a strong marking target with exceptional athleticism and silky skills and will be a big part of the Bombers’ future.
