Archer Day-Wicks (born 13 May 2006) is a professional Australian rules footballer with the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

AFL career

Day-Wicks was drafted by Essendon in the 2024 rookie draft.[1][2]

Having impressed early in his first season while playing for the Bombers' reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL), Day-Wicks was named for his senior debut in round 9 of the 2025 AFL season,[3] alongside fellow debutant, Lewis Hayes.[4] Day-Wicks kicked a goal with his first kick, joining the often discussed "exclusive" club of players to achieve this feat.[5][6]
