Cameron Rayner (born 21 October 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life[edit]

Rayner was born to mother Nicole, a primary school teacher,[1] and father John, a boilermaker, and raised in Hillside in Melbourne.[2] The family were strong Essendon Football Club supporters and Cameron grew up idolising Matthew Lloyd.[1] Rayner played junior football with the Hillside Football Club and Essendon Doutta Stars[3] in the Essendon District Football League winning six club best and fairest awards.[4] He made the under-12s Victorian squad, however was later dropped as he was considered too small a player.[2] However he later went through a growth spurt and played for the Western Jets in the TAC Cup/Talent League.[5]

Rayner was selected in the AFL Academy in 2017 and despite splitting his toe open was dominant with a three goal performance for Team Daniher in the 20th Anniversary match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[4][6] He would back up this performance with a 3 goal game for Vic Metro at the AFL Under-18 Championships, earning him a spot in the Under-18 All-Australian team.[4]

He was drafted by Brisbane with the first overall selection in the 2017 national draft.[7]

AFL career[edit]

2018 season[edit]

Rayner made his debut in the twenty-five point loss to St Kilda at Etihad Stadium in the opening round of the 2018 season, recording 8 disposals including his first AFL goal.[8] In round 4, on what was a horror day for the Lions, Rayner was a shining light for the Lions, recording a career-best 22 disposals and kicking his side's second of 2 goals for the day in a 93-point loss against reigning premiers Richmond at the MCG.[9] In the following round in the QClash against Gold Coast, Rayner had a chance to draw the match right on the full-time siren, but he pulled his kick wide to the left for a behind and the Lions were defeated by 5 points.

Rayner received the AFL Rising Star nomination for round 15 after kicking two goals and recording nineteen disposals in the Lions' win over Fremantle at Optus Stadium.[10] Rayner had a chance to win the game against North Melbourne in round 20 after being awarded a free kick on a slight angle 30m from goal, but he attempted a kick around the body and his shot went wide to the right for a behind. The Lions lost by 3 points.[11]

2020 season[edit]

On November 5, 2020, Rayner signed a three-year extension with Brisbane, contracting him until the end of 2023.[12]
