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

The teen sensation has been forced to defend himself throughout the year amid speculation he was less than happy to move to the other side of the country.
‘It was pretty annoying at times when they say it and they really haven’t even met you,’ Reid said.
‘It (the Eagles jumper) is on me now, so hopefully that puts a bit of word out there that I’m keen to go over there and get stuck into it.’
He is prepared for the instant celebrity status that will fall on his young shoulders.

‘It’s part of the journey I suppose and it’s pretty humbling too, but it’s motivation too to be a superstar and get in there and earn respect off the teammates,’ Reid said.
‘There’s a great young core group over there and a lot of experience.
‘There’s a lot of history behind that club too so I’m keen to get in there 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 jumper.
Naitanui handed over the No.9 guernsey, which he and fellow Eagles great Ben Cousins wore during their illustrious careers.
