goalkicker
Boots the ball
A goalkicker is a player in rugby or Australian rules football who specializes in kicking goals, particularly from penalty kicks and conversions.
The term is used more commonly in Commonwealth countries than in American sports, where equivalent roles might be called placekickers or field goal kickers.
A team's designated goalkicker is typically their most accurate and reliable boot.
The goalkicker slotted the conversion from a difficult angle to seal the match.
