Hugh Goddard (born 24 August 1996) is a current Australian rules footballer who plays for the St Kilda football club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was drafted as pick 21 in the 2014 AFL draft. He is a second cousin of former St Kilda player and former Essendon captain and player Brendon Goddard.

AFL career

He made his debut in round 16 of the 2015 AFL season in St Kilda's loss against Richmond, playing alongside former Geelong Falcons teammate Paddy McCartin.[1]

In just his ninth game (and first for the 2016 season), Goddard suffered an Achilles injury in the Saints' 88-point loss to Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval in Round 11, ending his season and ensuring that he would spend the next twelve months on the sidelines.[2]
