Kieren Jack (born 28 June 1987) is an Australian Rules footballer for the Sydney Swans Football Club.

He is also notable for being the son of former Balmain Tigers Rugby League star Garry Jack. [ [http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/swans-back-jack/2007/05/02/1177788224827.html Swans back Jack] ]

Jack grew up in Cherrybrook, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney. His first experience of Aussie Rules was in the Paul Kelly Cup in 1998 whilst still in primary school playing for the junior Pennant Hills Demons AFC. He went on to play a key part in premierships with the junior Demons in 1999 and 2000 [ [http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21668628-5001023,00.html The day league lost Kieren Jack] ] Jack played both rugby league (for Balmain's juniors) and Aussie Rules until 2000 before breaking the news to his father that he wanted to stop playing league to focus on Australian Rules.

He was identified by AFL talent scouts and taken by Sydney in the 2005 Rookie Draft from the NSW/ACT Rams Under 18 team.

Before even making his debut, Jack made news in 2007 for being one of four players involved in an AFL betting scandal, which was controversial given his comparatively tiny bets. [ [http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,,21242804-5001023,00.html Jack in betting scandal] ]

In 2007, he was promoted from the rookie list. Notable for his tackling and running abilities, he plays as a midfielder for the Swans.

In round four, 2008, he gained a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination for his role on West Coast Eagles onballer Daniel Kerr in a match the Swans won by 62 points (their biggest win over the Eagles since 2000). In the current season, he has also shut down the likes of Shaun Burgoyne and Luke Power in games the Swans have won by considerable margins.
