How’s this to top off your long weekend, Harry Elbrow has re-signed for the upcoming season✍️
Coming off the back of an outstanding 2025 season which saw Harry recognised as one of our joint Runner-Up Best ‘N’ Fairest winners, he’s prepped for another big year!
After a stint down at North Adelaide from 2021-2024, Harry’s decided to have another crack at SANFL level joining Port Adelaide this off season. When he’s not down at Alberton, he’ll be donning the red and blue.
We’re stoked to have you locked in mate, can’t wait to see you get stuck in🔴🔵
