Jarrod Harbrow (born 18 July 1988) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Harbrow was born in Cairns to an Indigenous Australian mother from Cairns and a Caucasian father from Mooroopna, Victoria. His indigenous ancestry can be traced to the Yirrganydji, a rainforest tribe in Far North Queensland. He grew up in the town of Cairns, in Queensland and began playing junior football with the Manunda Hawks and then the South Cairns in the AFL Cairns competition.
During his teenage years, he moved up and down between his father's town of Mooroopna, Victoria and Queensland and gave his brother bone marrow to survive leukemia.
Harbrow represented Queensland at both the 2004 AFL Under 16 Championships and 2006 AFL Under 18 Championships, both sides winning the respective division titles.
In 2005 he moved to Victoria where he played for the Mooroopna Football Club before joining the TAC Cup side the Murray Bushrangers in a bid to nominate for the AFL Draft. He was overlooked in the 2006 AFL Draft, however had already attracted the attention of AFL talent scouts Peter Dean and Scott Clayton.
Drafted as a rookie, Harbrow was picked up by the Bulldogs in the 2007 rookie draft.
Following only a short time in development playing for the Bulldogs VFL affiliate Werribee, Harbrow was called up for his AFL debut against the Richmond Tigers in Round 4, 2007.
