After going undrafted in 2017, Foley played as an overager for WA in the under-18 competition and dominated for Subiaco in the colts. On being drafted, he was described as having a high work rate and strong athletic background. Coming from a long line of Foley footballers, his great-uncle Brian Foley having captained West Perth and won a Sandover Medal in 1959 and cousin Dan Foley playing for Richmond and West Perth in the 1980s.[1]
He began his West Coast career as a rotating midfielder in the club's WAFL reserves side, but found his feet after a shift to the backline during the season.
