Harry Himmelberg is an mobile tall forward who relocated to Canberra from the Riverina once he finished school after an injury-interrupted 2014. A member of the GIANTS Academy, he was a regular top-up for the GIANTS in the NEAFL during his Under-19s year. Once arriving at the GIANTS as a first-round selection in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft, Himmelberg enjoyed a successful switch to defence and was selected to make his AFL debut in round 17, 2016. 2017 saw Himmelberg play forward and down back before he established himself as a forward during the GIANTS' finals campaign, kicking four goals in the club's Preliminary Final.
In 2022, after booting 17 goals through the first nine games of the season, Himmelberg was swung back and excelled in defence. He was able to read the play like an experienced backman and has strong one-on-one abilities which made him an integral part of the GIANTS’ back six. Himmelberg was also able to rack up big numbers, highlighted by a 37-disposal performance against North Melbourne in round 13.
A star on the rise, Himmelberg has become one of the GIANTS' most consistent performers over the early part of his career. His brother Elliott plays at the Adelaide Crows.
