Herrod came to Geelong from Assumption College, in Kilmore. He made over 75 appearances for the Geelong reserves and won the Gardiner Medal in 1966, but managed just seven senior games.[1][2]

At Fitzroy he put together regular senior appearances, with his most productive season coming in 1970 when he appeared in 19 rounds.[2]

A half back flanker, he spent 1972 and 1973 in Tasmania, with the North Hobart Football Club. He then joined Port Melbourne, as he was a good friend of former Fitzroy teammate and new Port coach Norm Brown.[3]
