Josh Caddy (born 28 September 1992) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Gold Coast Football Club from 2011 to 2013, and the Geelong Football Club from 2013 to 2016. He was drafted by Gold Coast with the seventh selection in the 2010 AFL draft. Caddy was recruited from TAC Cup side Northern Knights where he was captain for the 2010 season.
Caddy played junior football with Eltham in the Northern Football League before joining the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup. He played a handful of matches for the Knights in 2009 and 2009 and went to be captain the club in 13 matches in the 2010 season. He placed second in the club's best and fairest that year. During this time he formed a friendship with Knights teammate and eventual Gold Coast and Richmond teammate, Dion Prestia.
In 2010 Caddy represented the Victorian Metropolitan side at the AFL Under 18 Championships. He played three matches for the tournament, recording averages of 23.7 disposals and 3.3 marks per game. He was awarded All-Australian selection for his stellar performances.
Caddy was drafted by the Gold Coast Suns with the club's fourth selection and the seventh selection overall in the 2010 AFL draft.
He suffered a navicular bone injury early in the year, and was held back from football duties until late into the club's inaugural season. Caddy made his AFL debut in Round 23 that year, in a losing match against Melbourne at the MCG. He had 10 disposals, five marks and three tackles in the match. He kicked his first career goal the next week, in his second career match and the Suns' last game of the season.
