Stats
Bio
Recruited from Mansfield in country Victoria, Tom Tarrant was a utility player who managed a brief senior career with Collingwood during the club’s competitive mid-1950s period. Breaking into the side in 1953, he played seven games across two seasons and kicked a single goal, but struggled to hold his place in a formidable Magpies lineup. While some modern records conflate his career with a namesake rookie who was listed by the Brisbane Lions in 2001, the original Tarrant’s top-level tenure was exclusively in black and white, concluding when he left Victoria Park at the end of 1954.
