David Gault is an Australian rules footballer and since 2005 has been the captain of the South Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League.[2][3]
Originally from York,[1] he made his debut in 1996 and has played in two successful premiership sides, in 1997, when South Fremantle beat East Fremantle in a derby grand final, and as captain in 2005, as well as three losing grand finals.[1] In 2005 he became a life member of the South Fremantle Football Club,[4] and in 2007 became the 17th player to play 200 games for South Fremantle.[1] Whilst never regarded as a star player, more of an honest toiler,[5] Gault is one of the few players in recent times to reach 200 games without ever representing his state or playing in the Australian Football League.[6]
Outside of football he is also the current Director of Sport at Aquinas College.[7]
