Kerryn Harrington is a student who is currently studying for her Bachelor of Physiotherapy.

2021 - In Carlton's AFLW Best and Fairest count Harrington’s third-place finish saw the skipper return to the podium for the second time after she also finished third in the Club’s best-and-fairest count in 2019. The defender took her game to another level in 2021, achieving a career-high for disposals (132), while also leading the way at the Club for intercepts (65) and rebounds (32) in the Blues’ back half to be recognised with selection in the initial 40-person AFLW All-Australian squad. Senior Coach Daniel Harford praised the on-field achievements of all three Game Changers (Vescio, Stevens and Harrington) this season. “Both Nicola and Kerryn are true competitors and we know exactly what we are going to get from them each week. They put in the work at training and lead by example on game day, and as a result, they have both once again had very impressive seasons. “To have all three players of their experience finish in the top three at our club this year, is a testament to each of them as individuals and as admirable leaders of our group. They continue to drive the standards and strive to get the very best out of themselves and their teammates.”
