Harry Edwards Biography

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.
