What do you enjoy the most about being part of the GIANTS Academy? The best things are getting to train and play with all your mates. The culture around the group is just awesome, the coaches do anything for you and are just really good people.

What do you pride yourself on as a player? I pride myself on winning contested ball and being able to bring my team mates into the game. I also strive to be the best team mate I can be and help the team win. 

What GIANTS Academy Head Coach Cameron Bernasconi says: “Harry has been in super form playing for the U19s Male Academy the past month in the Northern Academy series and NAB league. Harry is a smart inside midfielder who can also roll forward to hit the scoreboard. Harry comes from the Riverina region but boarding in Melbourne at Assumption College. Harry is not only a quality player but also a quality person who is putting his best foot forward for Allies selection this year.”

What Riverina Head Coach Tim Sullivan says: “Harry has gone from strength to strength during his time in the GIANTS Academy and hasn't put a foot wrong in 2022. He is a strong inside midfielder who has put together a solid month of NAB League footy. It’s great to see the hard work paying off for him. Let’s hope it continues because the sky’s the limit for him.”
