Playing career

Sherwood made his debut for Western Suburbs in 1927 against Glebe at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a 12–4 win. In 1930, Sherwood was a member of the Western Suburbs side which won the minor premiership and reached the grand final against St George. St George won the grand final 14-6 but due to the rules at the time, the minor premiers were allowed to challenge for a rematch. Western Suburbs won the grand final rematch in convincing fashion 27-2 and claimed its first premiership with Sherwood playing at centre in the match.
