Jack Hombsch is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was one of Greater Western Sydney's underage recruits, and played in their inaugural side for their debut season in 2012.
Hombsch was traded to the Port Adelaide Football Club alongside Jake Neade during the 2012 season Trade Week. Hombsch made his debut for Port in round 10 of the 2013 AFL season against the Western Bulldogs in Darwin, tallying 22 possessions.[1]
In season 2014, Hombsch consolidated himself into Port's AFL squad playing predominantly in the backlines as a tall defender in 24 games including finals. Hombsch continued where he left off playing in 22 games in 2015 and finishing third in the John Cahill Medal at season's end.
In 2017, Hombsch won the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award for his work with Inclusive Sport SA, Bedford and Kickstart for Kids.
