Jarrod Cameron is a clever and creative small forward who has pace and is dynamic around goal. After originally showing interest in Rugby League whilst living in Queensland, it was his families move to Newman in northern Western Australia when Australian Rules was introduced to him.
Cameron was signed up to the clubs Naitanui Academy in 2016 when the club began to engage with him through both squad training and high-performance education sessions. Playing two seasons of Colts football with Swan Districts, Jarrod represented WA in the under 18 National Championships - 2017 & 2018. His five-goal haul for WA in the 2018 Championships against Victoria Country highlighted his potential and trained the eye of all AFL recruiters on him.
Jarrod was drafted by West Coast with selection number 39 in the 2018 AFL National Draft when the club matched a bid made by the Brisbane Lions – claiming him as a member of the clubs Next Generation Academy.
