Stats
Bio
Hailing from the Western District town of Merino, Kevin Hurley was a mature-age recruit who joined North Melbourne during the height of the Second World War. Standing at 178cm but weighing a robust 89kg, Hurley was a burly figure who added physical presence to the Shinboners' lineup, likely rotating through the forward line. He made his debut in the 1942 season, a chaotic year where team lists were frequently shuffled due to military enlistments, and managed to boot a goal during his brief two-game career. Although his time at Arden Street was fleeting, Hurley represents the vital contingent of country footballers who stepped up to fill the breach and keep the competition running during the war years.
