West Coast Eagles star Harley Reid is sparking romance rumors with AFLW player Yasmin Duursma
Harley Reid has sparked rumors that he may be dating a fellow footballer.
The West Coast Eagles star was reportedly spotted ‘getting cozy’ with AFLW player Yasmin Duursma, 19, after an Eagles match on Saturday afternoon.
Yasmin plays for Carlton in the women’s league and shared a tender moment with Reid in the rooms, reports say Perth Now.
Reid made headlines last year as the AFL No.1 draft pick after being selected by West Coast as the country’s best young talent.
The 18-year-old Victorian midfielder, who hails from Tongala in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley region, is perhaps the most hyped draftee in history and is seen by many recruiters as a generational talent.

The teen sensation has been forced to defend himself all year, amid speculation that he was less than thrilled to be moving to the other side of the country.
“It was quite annoying sometimes when they said it and you haven’t even met yet,” Reid said.
“It (the Eagles jumper) is on me now, so hopefully that kind of clears up my desire to get out there and get stuck in.”
He is prepared for the instant celebrity status that will fall on his young shoulders.

“It’s part of the journey, I think, and it’s also quite humbling, but it’s also the motivation to be a superstar and earn the respect of the teammates in that,” Reid said.
‘There is a nice young core group there and a lot of experience.
“There’s a lot of history behind that club too, so I’d like to get involved and hopefully influence that club and help them get back to the top.”
West Coast flew cult figure Nic Naitanui to Melbourne to present Reid with his new show jumping horse.
Naitanui was presented with the number 9 guernsey, which he and fellow Eagles great Ben Cousins wore during their illustrious careers.
