Playing career[]

Sherwood made his debut for Western Suburbs in 1927 against Glebe at the Sydney Cricket Ground in a 12–4 win. In 1930, Sherwood was a member of the Western Suburbs side which won the minor premiership and reached the grand final against St George. St George won the grand final 14-6 but due to the rules at the time, the minor premiers were allowed to challenge for a rematch. Western Suburbs won the grand final rematch in convincing fashion 27-2 and claimed its first premiership with Sherwood playing at centre in the match. Sherwood played two more seasons with Wests before moving across the harbor to North Sydney in 1933 making 5 appearances that season before retiring. Sherwood also represented New South Wales on four occasions in 1931.[2][3]
