Jarrod Cameron (born 3 May 2000) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

Cameron was born and raised in Mornington Island, Queensland into a family of Indigenous Australian heritage (Lardil and Waanyi). While in Queensland, he played rugby league and baseball as a youth. At the age of 11, he relocated to Newman, Western Australia with his family and began playing Australian rules football for the Newman Centrals Junior Football Club. His brother, Charlie, was drafted by the Adelaide Crows at the 2013 AFL draft.[1] Due to his Pilbara residence and Indigenous background, Jarrod was Next Generation Academy draft eligible for the West Coast Eagles and was selected with the 39th pick in the 2018 AFL draft after the Eagles elected to match Brisbane's bid.[2]

He completed school at Aquinas College, Perth in 2017.

Cameron made his AFL debut for West Coast in their 35-point victory over Essendon in round 14 of the 2019 AFL season.[3]
