Background

Yarrow was born in Rockhampton where, from the age of six until she turned 12, she played junior rugby league for the Rockhampton Tigers RLFC. [2]

She continued playing the sport while attending Emmaus College where she competed in representative teams such as the schoolgirls team and the Central Crows. [2]

Playing career

Early years

Yarrow joined the Central Queensland Capras' under-17s competition from the age of 14 where she was selected for the Queensland Country Under-17 Girls team in 2021. [2]

Yarrow was named as the inaugural winner of the Reg Cannon Award at the 2022 Confraternity Carnival for being female player of the carnival. [3]

Yarrow then captained the inaugural Under-18 Queensland Schoolgirls team which served as the curtain-raiser to the series decider of the 2022 Women's State of Origin in Brisbane. [4] Yarrow was then one of ten Queenslanders selected in the first Australian schoolgirls side to compete in Fiji in October 2022. [5] [6]

On 11 March 2023, Yarrow made her QRL Women's Premiership debut for the Central Queensland Capras against the Tweed Heads Seagulls at Browne Park. [2] However, several weeks later during the Round 4 match against the Mackay Cutters, Yarrow ruptured her ACL which led to her having a knee reconstruction. [7] After she recovered, Yarrow re-joined the competition in late 2023, playing for the Mackay Cutters. [7]

2024

Yarrow made her debut for the North Queensland Cowboys Women when the team played against the Parramatta Eels Women in Round 3 of the 2024 NRL Women's season on 11 August 2024 at Langlands Park in Brisbane. [8] [9]
