Throughout his career, Sawyer has gained international experience, having played for clubs such as Davao Aguilas in the Philippines, Tai Po in Hong Kong, Jamshedpur in the Indian Super League, and VPS in Finland. He also had two successful spells at South Melbourne, where he was a standout performer, winning both the NPL Victoria title and the Golden Boot award in 2022 and 2024.

Statements from the Club and Player

John Didulica, Melbourne Victory's Director of Football, expressed enthusiasm about Sawyer’s signing, stating, “Harry has been a hugely effective player in recent seasons and one that has made a real impact in whichever league he has played.” Didulica emphasized Sawyer's resilience and the valuable attributes he brings to the team's attacking options.
