Coleman was born in Katherine, Northern Territory[3] to a family of Indigenous Australian descent (Dalabon and Jawoyn).[4] At nine years of age he moved to Brisbane for better education opportunities and to pursue a career in football.[5] While in Brisbane, he initially played junior football for the Wynnum Vikings before switching to Morningside to play in the top level QAFL competition. He impressed enough to be placed in the Brisbane Lions developmental academy and was considered a future AFL prospect in the lead up to his draft year. However, he was overlooked at the 2018 AFL draft but decided to remain a part of Brisbane's academy program as an overage player.[6] The decision paid off when Brisbane drafted Coleman with pick 37 in the 2019 AFL draft.[7] Coleman attended Brisbane Bayside State College throughout his high school years.[citation needed]
Coleman made his debut for the Brisbane Lions' 8 point win over Collingwood in the 15th round of the 2020 AFL season.[8][9] On debut, Coleman picked up 12 disposals, 4 marks and 4 tackles.[10]
