He was named Minairo at birth, but prefers to be known by his baptised name, Michael.[1] His twin brother Manguru (Martin) plays for Port Adelaide.[2] He completed school at Christian Brothers College, Adelaide in 2018. He was drafted with the 61st selection in the 2019 AFL draft from Woodville-West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), where he had won the Alan Stewart Medal as the best player in the 2019 SANFL Under 18 Grand Final.[3]
Frederick made his AFL debut for Fremantle during round seven of the 2020 AFL season in the Western Derby at Optus Stadium kicking a goal on debut.[4] Frederick finished his debut year playing 10 games and kicking four goals.[5] Frederick had a stand out performance during round 11 of the 2022 AFL season, he kicked two goals and finished with a game-high 11 score involvements, 17 disposals and four marks during Fremantle's 38 point win over Melbourne at the MCG.[6] Frederick later backed up that performance in a top 4 clash against Brisbane the next round, kicking 3 goals and amassing 18 disposals, 7 score involvements and 10 marks in Fremantle's 14 point win.[7] Later that month Frederick was handed a one-match ban by Fremantle after consuming alcohol during a six-day break and as a result missed Fremantle's round 13 game against Hawthorn.[8]
