Sharp, a forward, was recruited by Carlton from Moonee Ponds.^[2] He missed out on playing in Carlton's 1914 premiership team through injury but was a forward pocket and second rover in their 1915 VFL Grand Final winning side.^[3] In 1916 he missed another grand final, with a broken collarbone, but Carlton would lose on that occasion.

He served his country during the war and then returned to Carlton for one final season in 1920.^[3][4]
