Harry Edwards embraced an expanded role in West Coast’s defence following Tom Barrass’ departure, continuing to develop as an important part of the Eagles’ backline. The 200cm key defender showcased growing confidence across 16 AFL appearances in 2025, consistently competing against some of the competition’s top forwards and providing a reliable presence in the air. His strong campaign was rewarded with a three-year contract extension through to the end of 2027. Edwards continued to play an important role in defence in 2026 before sustaining a concussion in round nine, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season. He subsequently undertook a specialist three-month rehabilitation program, with the intention of returning to AFL football in 2027. At a Glance: Junior Club: Mazenod (WA). Debut: Round 9, 2020.
