He played his first game for Port Adelaide in 1997 against the Brisbane Lions, collapsing on field in 1999 he was diagnosed and treated for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome^[1]. After transferring to the Western Bulldogs in 2000, he got off to a slow start but was a key player for the Bulldogs in 2004 and 2005^[2].

Known as "The Bald Eagle" for his clean-shaven head, in 2005 he was a very important player for the Western Bulldogs, his skill and run proving vital to the team's late-season charge. He kicked a career best 28 goals in 2005^[3]. He is recognised as having a long, raking left foot kick, regularly kicking goals from outside the 50m line.

Eagleton plays in number 10. He's married with two young children.
