A small forward, 1.73 metres (5 ft 8 in) tall and weighing 75 kilograms (165 lb), Kennedy Harris has the ability to play in both the forward line and the midfield. He entered top-level football early when he played for the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup as a bottom-aged player, in addition to representing Vic Metro in the 2013 AFL Under 18 Championships. His achievements as a junior include being the first indigenous player to captain a TAC Cup side and he was named in the TAC Cup team of the year. He was recruited by the Melbourne Football Club with the fortieth overall selection in the 2013 AFL draft and made his debut in the 2014 season.
