WAFL Premiership Player - 1997, 2005 | |||
Originally from York,[4] he made his debut in 1996 and played in two premiership sides, in 1997, when South Fremantle beat East Fremantle in a derby grand final, and as captain in 2005, as well as three losing grand finals.[4][5]
In 2005 he became a life member of the South Fremantle Football Club,[6] and in 2007 became the 17th player to play 200 games for South Fremantle.[4] Whilst never regarded as a star player, more of an honest toiler,[7] Gault is one of the few players in recent times to reach 200 state league games without ever representing his state or playing in the Australian Football League.[8]
Outside of football he is the Director of Sport at Aquinas College.In July 2021, he moved to Scotch College.[9]
