The oldest of twelve children, Harry was recruited to Carlton by Jack Worrall and made his debut in Round 11, 1906, against Collingwood at Princes Park. After his solitary game for Carlton, he returned to his family in Rutherglen. He continued to play for Rutherglen before retiring to become an umpire.[1]

Harry died in 1943 after drowning in the Murray River attempting to retrieve a duck he had just shot.[2]
