Harry Edwards Biography

Harry Edwards has been ruled out for the rest of the season after meeting with the AFL's Concussion Panel following a series of head knocks, with the panel recommending a specialist rehabilitation program for him.

"Harry has maintained a positive mindset whilst in the concussion protocols and he will undertake the specialist rehabilitation program with the intention of playing AFL next season," Eagles footy boss Gavin Bell said.

"We will continue supporting Harry through every step of this process, and I would like to recognise our medical team's diligence and professionalism in their care for Harry. His health and wellbeing remain our priority."

Harry Edwards is set to meet the AFL's concussion panel this month after suffering his third concussion in 2026.

Harry Edwards will likely take time away from playing to get himself healthy after a second concussion in three weeks.

Edwards suffered a concussion in the Eagles' AAMI Community Series loss to Port Adelaide on March 1 and went down during the first quarter at Optus Stadium against North Melbourne after friendly fire from teammate Matt Flynn.

Harry Edwards now measures 200cm in height after a recent growth spurt.

Edwards managed just one senior game in 2020, which was cut short in the second quarter against Geelong when he collided with teammate Brad Sheppard in a marking contest.

"He's still got a lot of developing within himself, but you see the way he reads the game, he's going to be a pretty special player. Any key-position player who is 200cm is a real asset to your footy club," Sheppard said of Edwards.

"He's learning from the best and he's really like a sponge out there. Hopefully, he gets his opportunity again this year. He's still dirty with me after I knocked him out in his debut game."

Harry Edwards makes his AFL debut for West Coast at Perth Stadium with 3 disposals (2 kicks and a handball) in a 9-point win over Geelong.

West Coast select Harry Edwards with pick No.18 in the 2018 Rookie Draft.
