Barry Norsworthy, a rover, and the older brother of Mark Norsworthy, began his career in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1969 with Central District.

He won their 'best and fairest' award in 1975; and, in the same year, represented South Australia in interstate matches against Victoria and Tasmania.
