Alex Mirkov, who featured in the opening two games of Carlton’s VFL season in 2021, has taken another step in his rapid rise onto an AFL list, signing an 18-month contract to wear the Navy Blue.
The 210-centimetre ruckman has played the last two years of football at Old Ivanhoe in the VAFA after playing volleyball at AGSV level for Ivanhoe Grammar.
Mirkov proved his wares as a tap ruckman for the Blues in the opening fortnight of the VFL season after impressing in practice matches, recording 36 hitouts against Brisbane in Round 2.
After turning 21 last November, Mirkov now adds depth to Carlton’s ruck division alongside Marc Pittonet and Tom De Koning.
