Paul Harding (born 4 June 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn, St. Kilda and West Coast in the VFL/AFL.
Paul was a great player for East Fremantle, with whom he began during a bleak period in 1981 and rose startlingly to play for his state in 1983 almost on his nineteenth birthday,[1] and is also remembered at many junior clubs.
He was recruited from East Fremantle to Hawthorn for the 1987 VFL season but struggled to make the side regularly due to injuries.
Alongside Peter Russo and Robert Handley, Harding was traded to St. Kilda in exchange for the first choice in the 1988 VFL Draft.
West Coast acquired the services of Harding in 1992, and he played in their inaugural Grand Final winning side that year.
