Koolee Harbour’s 2025 season with the Wynnum Manly Seagulls confirmed her status as one of Queensland’s most adaptable and promising young rugby league players. Playing primarily at five-eighth in the BMD Premiership, Koolee's standout moment came in round 7 where she crossed for a crucial try in Wynnum’s win over the Western Clydesdales.

Koolee’s game is built on vision, physicality, and composure. She’s equally comfortable in the halves, centres, or back row, and her ability to adapt to structured or unstructured play makes her a valuable asset. Her ball-playing and defensive reads were sharpened during her time with the Cronulla Sharks in the 2024 Tarsha Gale Cup, where she had multiple line breaks and try assists.

Her representative résumé includes Met East U18s (Centre), North Queensland U18s, the NTNRL All Stars, and the Clontarf U19 State of Origin team. She also helped her side to a Premiership at the QLD Murri Carnival and was selected for the QLD Murri vs NSW Koori Challenge — a testament to her leadership and cultural pride.

Koolee’s rugby union background includes stints with the QLD Reds U18s and Gold Coast Cyclones, where she played Outside Centre and captained Met East at the QLD 7s State Championships. Her multi-code experience adds sharp footwork, lateral agility, and spatial awareness to her toolkit.

A proud Aboriginal woman from Winton, Koolee completed her schooling at John Paul College, serving as College Vice Captain while boarding from Years 7 to 12. Off the field, she’s known for her humility, work ethic, and team-first mentality — qualities that continue to earn respect from coaches and peers alike.

With her versatility, leadership, and growing exposure to elite systems, Koolee Harbour is building a career defined by impact — and inspiring the next generation along the way.
