Harry Sharp (born 17 December 2002) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), having previously played for the Brisbane Lions.

Early career

[edit]

A former steeplechase runner in his teenage years, Sharp holds the record for the AFL Draft Combine 2 km time trial, which he set at 5:28 in October 2020.[1]

Recruited from the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in the NAB League, Sharp was drafted by the Lions with their second selection, pick 43, in the 2020 AFL draft.[2]

AFL career

[edit]

Sharp made his AFL debut in the Lions' 31-point loss to Sydney at the Gabba in round one, 2021, while still completing Grade 12 at St Laurence's College.[3][4] In 2023, Sharp re-signed with the Lions, extending his contract until the end of 2025.[5] Despite being contracted, Sharp requested a trade to Melbourne following Brisbane's 2024 grand final win after he wasn't selected to play throughout the Lions' successful finals series. The trade became official on 15 October, with Sharp moving to the Demons for pick 49 and an exchange of future picks between the clubs.[6]
