Early career
editVoss grew up in the Riverina region of New South Wales, which enabled him to join the Greater Western Sydney Giants junior academy program.[1] He later moved to Melbourne where he attended Wesley College and played for the Oakleigh Chargers in the Under 18's Talent League.
He was drafted by Essendon with the ninth selection in the 2022 rookie draft. He spent two years at Essendon, but did not make his AFL debut before being delisted at the end of the 2023 AFL season.[2]
AFL career
editVoss was one of four players invited to train with Fremantle before the 2024 AFL season. He was eventually successful in being selected during the pre-season supplemental selection period.[3] In late April he was picked to play his first AFL game against the Western Bulldogs in round 7 of the 2024 AFL season.[4] He achieved the rare feat of kicking a goal with his first kick. Voss signed a two-year contract extension at the seasons end to remain at Fremantle until at least 2026.[5]
