AFL career

He was drafted by North Melbourne with their first selection and eleventh overall in the 2017 rookie draft.[2] He made his debut in the seventy-point loss to Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in round 17 of the 2017 season.[3]

In a Round 7 win over Carlton in 2019, Zurhaar kicked a game-high 5 goals en route to winning the Round 7 Rising Star nomination. His nickname amongst the North Melbourne supporter base is the 'Bull', in response to his ferocious attack on the football.

Round 18 of the 2022 AFL season saw Zurhaar kick a career high six goals during North Melbourne's four point win over Richmond.[4] He kicked his 100th AFL goal in the same match.[5]

His surname is of Dutch origin.[6]
