Jeffrey Paul Hilton (27 May 1972 – 06 August 2023) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
Hilton was a utility player, recruited to St Kilda from Dromana.[2] He only managed to break into the seniors at St Kilda six times and switched clubs in the 1992 National Draft, selected by Melbourne at pick 99.[3]
In his first season with Melbourne he was restricted to the reserves and was a member of their premiership team.[4] He was, however, regularly selected in 1994, making 19 appearances, three of them in finals.[5] In 1995 he also played 19 games but he added just five more games in 1996 and was delisted.[5]
Hilton went to Western Australian club Peel Thunder in 1997.[6]
Jeff Hilton died on 06 August 2023, at the age of 51.[1]
