Ben Warren (born 11 February 1989) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Recruited from the Zillmere Eagles in Queensland at pick 69 in the 2006 AFL Draft by North Melbourne.[1] Warren spent two years in development,[1][2] playing in the VFL, for Tasmania in 2007 and Werribee in 2008, before making his senior AFL debut for North Melbourne in Round 4, 2009.[1] Warren impressed coaching staff of the club with his performances, especially his four goal haul against Brisbane at Etihad Stadium in Round 10. Warren played nine consecutive games after his debut, but broke his leg in Round 13 and missed the rest of the season.[2] Despite his broken leg, Warren was resigned by North Melbourne in August 2009, with list manager, Cameron Joyce, stating that "It was a priority for us to lock Ben in", due to interest being shown in the Queensland native from the new Gold Coast team.[1]
The 2010 season became Warren's best, having his best pre-season,[2] and playing 16 matches, kicking 21 goals.
