AFLW signing - Katie Harrison August 24, 2019, 09:00:44 am https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2019-08-23/blues-sign-aflw-rookieQuoteTHE CARLTON Football Club is delighted to announce Katie Harrison has signed on as a rookie for the 2020 AFLW season.Harrison, a development player in the 2017 Australian Rugby Sevens side, follows in the footsteps of fellow converts Chloe Dalton and Brooke Walker who joined the Blues last season and played in the Club’s maiden AFLW Grand Final.The 26-year-old will make the move from Manly to Melbourne in time for the start of pre-season training.Harrison is a naturally gifted athlete with elite speed and endurance, which will complement the current playing list at Carlton.With the success of Dalton and Walker, i think its a smart move to bring in another rugby 7's player.They are built for the AFLW game with great speed and endurance and an ability (and want) to lay a tackle.
