Fremantle Dockers player Luke Jackson has sparked romance rumours with a West Coast Fever star nine years his senior.
The 22-year-old AFL star was seen with 32-year-old netballer Kelsey Browne at the Fever’s annual Stacey Marinkovich awards night.
The pair were photographed next to each other at the event.
Jackson also recently posted a six-photo carousel to Instagram, with one of the images showing a brunette woman in front of a fire.
One person — who is followed by Jackson — commented “soft launch”, a term used to describe when someone hints at a relationship on social media before making an official announcement.
The pair have also posted social media content in similar settings, further fuelling speculation the two are dating.
In May, a photo was posted to Jackson’s Instagram showing the young gun cooking food on a barbeque near a pool.

Two months later, Browne posted a TikTok in what appears to be the same pool and outdoor area.
The sports duo have also posted pictures of the same bath outside a tiny cabin in Busselton.

The relationship revelation comes as West Coast Fever announced that the midcourter would step into a new role at the club.
“Browne will continue with Fever in a club ambassador role as well as being a training partner, which will allow her to explore career opportunities outside of netball,” the club said.

Head coach Dan Ryan said Browne had “found a home in Perth” and had plenty “to accomplish beyond the netball court”.
