He displayed his elite kicking while starring for the Young Guns, with high possessions games in successive weeks.[3] He was educated at Maribyrnong College as part of their selective sports academy.[4]
D’Ambrosio was the third player picked in the 2022 mid-season draft,[3] by Essendon having made an impression playing for Richmond in the Victorian Football League.[5] He made his debut against St Kilda, where he accumulated 15 disposals in a 35-point victory. D’Ambrosio played eight games in his debut season, and another eight in season 2023. In September 2023, D’Ambrosio requested a trade to Hawthorn,[6] and was traded on the final minute of the trade period.[7]
