Kerryn Harrington (born 2 March 1992) is an Australian basketball player and an Australian rules footballer playing with the Bendigo Spirit in the WNBL and the Carlton Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition.
Basketball
WNBL
Harrington began her WNBL career in the inaugural year of the Bendigo Spirit alongside the likes of Kristi Harrower. She would then spend the next three seasons in between the AIS and Bendigo. She then had a two-season stint in Bulleen. After a one-year absence from the league, she returned playing for the Adelaide Lightning. For the 2015–16 season she returned to Bendigo. Harrington was re-signed by the Spirit, for the 2016–17 season.[1]
National team
Harrington was a consistent member of the Gems. She was then named to the Gems squad and helped them take home the Gold at the Oceania Under-18 Championship and qualify for the World Championship the following year in Thailand. Playing alongside, Elizabeth Cambage, the team placed fifth. She would once again represent the Gems, and despite all their best efforts, was one step closer to the podium, but fell short to Brazil, placing fourth.
AFL Women's
On 16 May 2017, Template:AFLW Car signed Harrington along with Maddison Gay to Carlton's rookie list for the 2018 AFL Women's season.[2] Following their impressive development, the pair were promoted to the senior list on 1 September 2017.[3] She made her league debut in the 2018 season's opening match, an eight-point win over Template:AFLW Col.[4][5]
