Overlooked in the 2016 AFL draft, Banfield played for Claremont in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), being a part of the Colts (WAFL) premiership side in 2015 and winning their 2017 best and fairest award.[1] He was then selected by Fremantle with their first selection, fifth overall, in the 2018 AFL rookie draft.[2]
Banfield made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the opening round of the 2018 AFL season after a series of impressive pre-season games.[3] He signed a two-year contract extension, tying him to Fremantle until 2020.
