Early career

Jack Scrimshaw as a junior played football with the Beaumaris Football Club and the Sandringham Dragons. Talent scouts liked the dash and the plenty of X-Factor he displayed as a versatile and accurate left-footer. At 193 centimetres he had the height to demand attention. Scrimshaw played on the wing during the TAC championships and while he can move forward he looked most at home in defence.[1]

AFL career

He was drafted by Gold Coast with their second selection and seventh overall in the 2016 national draft.[2] He made his debut in the fifty-four point loss to the Western Bulldogs at Cazaly's Stadium in round eighteen of the 2017 season.[3]

Scrimshaw was unable to break into the Gold Coast senior side after the departure of coach, Rodney Eade and list manager Scott Clayton and several other coaches and support staff. Scrimshaw averaged 23 disposals in the NEAFL 2018 season. During that time he suffered a broken cheekbone and later had concussion. At the end of the 2018 season Scrimshaw requested a trade to a Victorian based club. On 16 October, he was officially traded to Hawthorn.[4]

Scrimshaw changed his guernsey number from 35 to 14 before the 2020 season.[5]
