Career

edit

Spencer made his AFL-level debut with Geelong during the 2006 AFL season, performing reasonably well playing on Essendon's Scott Lucas.[1] He managed one more game for the season before being omitted,[1] and was subsequently delisted at the conclusion of the 2007 season, a season in which he did not play a senior match. Following the conclusion of his AFL career, Spencer returned to his former club, Swan Districts, in the West Australian Football League.[2]
