After representing Essendon VFL in 2023, Minton-Connell joined Williamstown as a strong and composed defender who reads the play well. A former Vice-Captain of the Calder Cannons, he brings leadership and poise to the backline. Known for his ability to set up play from defence, Minton-Connell has become a valued contributor for the Seagulls, proudly wearing the number 16 made famous by past player Kim Kershaw.
