Harry Roy Almond (1891 - 1960) was an Australian rugby league player who played in the 1910s.
Almond was born at Glebe, New South Wales. He played five seasons at South Sydney Rabbitohs between 1912 - 1917.
Almond made his debut with Souths in round 13 of the 1912 season against Annandale at second-row.[3] He would not make another appearance for the season and would not appear until round 3 of the 1914 season - where he would score a try to help his team win 17–9 against Western Suburbs.[4] Almond played 7 more games that season and Souths would finish with the 1914 minor premiership, and consequently, the premiership.
In round 12 of 1915, Almond scored a try in a 29–3 win over North Sydney. He scored a try in the opening round of 1916, before scoring the final try of his career in a 12-point win over Norths.[5] Souths made the grand final in 1916, however Almond did not play.[6]
Almond played 4 more seasons in 1917, before retiring after his final game against Annandale in Round 9.[7]
Almond died in 1960 at Newcastle, New South Wales.[8]
