Jarrott, who came from Mohyu in rural Victoria, was used as a half back flanker and ruck-rover during his career.[1] He made his debut in the 17th round of the 1977 VFL season and kept his place in the side until the preliminary final, when he was dropped.[2] As a result, he missed out on participating in North Melbourne's second VFL premiership. He played a semi final in 1978 but again was dropped and missed another grand final.[2]

Noted for his accurate handballing skills, he won the handball competition on the TV show World of Sport three times.[3]

Alan is currently the coach of the Purple Knights in the Victorian Social Football League.
