| Career Highlights | |
James Gwilt (born August 11, 1986) is an Australian rules football player for the St Kilda Football Club. James has the distinction of being the second of only 2 current AFL players (the other is Mal Michael from Brisbane Lions) to have a Papua New Guinean parent.
Unlike other Victorian young players, Gwilt started his football career in suburban football instead of participating in the TAC Cup, Victoria's premier under-18 competition. He played for Noble Park of the Eastern Football League and was best on ground in the league's Grand Final in 2004.
The Saints made a surprising pick in the 2004 AFL National Draft by selecting Gwilt in the 4th round. Gwilt played three games in the 2005 season, including both finals series games.
