| Career Highlights | |
Dean Solomon (born January 9, 1980) is an Australian rules footballer. He currently plays for the Fremantle Dockers following a trade from the Essendon Football Club.
Known for his toughness, he made his AFL debut in 1998 for Essendon and was part of their 2000 premiership team. On numerous occasions, however, Solomon has shown his lack of discipline to be detrimental to his game, one example being the 2005 clash with Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, where Solomon's concession of a 50-metre penalty was considered a turning point in the match, from which Adelaide became big victors. Solomon has appeared in advertisements for Yakult, who are a corporate sponsor of Essendon.
On October 13, 2006 Solomon was traded to the Fremantle Dockers for the 2007 season premiership season, following a trade of draft picks No. 42 and No. 47, Fremantle also gained pick No. 52 from the Bombers. He links up with close friend, forward Chris Tarrant who was traded to the Dockers on the same day from Collingwood.
