Irving Mosquito was drafted by the Essendon Football Club with the 38th pick in the 2018 NAB AFL draft after the Bombers made a bid for Mosquito to secure him from the Hawthorn next generation academy.

Mosquito made the move down from Halls Creek in Western Australia to pursue his football career which resulted in the creative small forward playing for the Gippsland Power in the TAC cup.

Mosquito will start 2019 in the VFL whilst his body matures to AFL level but there is no doubting his talent is already there which has many Bombers fans excited.
