Jeremy Sharp (born 13 August 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club, having previously played for the Gold Coast Suns in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the Gold Coast Suns with the 27th draft pick in the 2019 AFL draft.[1][2]

Early life

[edit]

Sharp was born in Western Australia and grew up in the riverside Perth suburb of Attadale.[3] He participated in the Auskick program at Attadale[4] and played his junior football for the Attadale Bombers and attended Aquinas College throughout his upbringing.[5][6] He also played for East Fremantle in the Western Australian Football League colts division, where he played six games and kicked 3 goals.[7][8] Sharp represented Western Australia in the AFL Under 18 Championships in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.[7][9] He was named in the Under 18 All Australian team for 2018 and 2019.[10][11]

AFL career

[edit]

Sharp was taken at pick 27 in the 2019 AFL draft, in a live trade with Geelong where Gold Coast swapped their future mid-first round selection and pick 64 for pick 27.[12][5] It was the second 'live trade' to occur in the AFL.

Sharp debuted in the Suns' four point loss to St Kilda in the 10th round of the 2020 AFL season.[13][14] On his debut, Sharp picked up 9 disposals and a mark.[15] Sharp was nominated for the 2021 AFL Rising Star award after his performance in round 18 against Western Bulldogs, where he collected 30 disposals and 10 marks in a career-best performance.[16][17]

Sharp spent the entirety of the 2023 AFL season playing for Gold Coast's reserve team in the Victorian Football League, where he averaged 21.3 disposals from 19 games.[18] He was a part of the club's inaugural VFL grand final win against the Werribee Tigers.[19] Following the 2023 season he was delisted by Gold Coast before joining the Fremantle Football Club, who had shown interest in Sharp the season prior.[20]

Jeremy made his debut for Fremantle in their opening game of the 2024 AFL season against the Brisbane Lions at Optus Stadium, collecting eighteen disposals and eight inside 50's during the 23 point win.[21] He collected thirteen disposals the next week against North Melbourne and kicked an important goal in the final quarter. Sharp was again impressive in Fremantle's narrow loss to Carlton during the Gather Round, collecting 29 disposals, seven inside 50s and kicking a goal.[22]

Personal life

[edit]

His grandfather, Ken Holt, is a member of the East Fremantle Football Club's Hall of Fame and represented Western Australia at the state level throughout his career.[23]
