[edit] Playing career
[edit] West Coast career
Schofield made his debut in 1993 with the West Coast Eagles.
[edit] Port Adelaide career
He switched to Port Adelaide in 1999 and was noted for being a useful running outside midfielder, used as a "link man" in the midfield. In 2004 he enjoyed an outstanding season where he amassed a high amount of disposals for Port, and topped it off by being a part of Port's premiership side.
[edit] Fremantle career
In 2005 Schofield went back home to Perth, this time playing with the Fremantle Football Club. In 2005 he struggled to get on the field with numerous injuries and had what was considered a disappointing season which was much different to the heights he reached in 2004.
Schofield had shown further indications that he may be nearing the twilight of his career, particularly when in the 2006 NAB Cup semi-final against Geelong, he had a poor game where he dropped a simple chest mark and then proceeded to concede a number of free kicks. At 31 years of age Schofield's future at the club was in doubt.
He announced prior to Round 22 that he would retire at the end of the 2006 season, with injury restricting him to just two matches up to that point. [1]
Jarrad Scofield did not play again that season
