[2] A big break in his junior career came when he was selected for an Under 16 international rules football tour to Ireland, where he was chosen as captain.

Wells moved to Perth, Western Australia as a teenager and starred in the WAFL for the Peel Thunder where he caught the eyes of AFL scouts.

In 2011 Wells produced a brilliant and consistent season when he won his first Syd Barker Medal which he shared with Andrew Swallow.

Following the 2013 season, the two-time best and fairest was chosen to represent Australia in the International Rules Series as captain of the exclusively Indigenous team, a rare and memorable honour.
