Jerrad Robert Tyson is an Australian professional goalkeeper who is presently signed with Queensland's Sunshine Coast FC.

Gold Coast United

Tyson made his first appearance for Gold Coast United on 1 December 2010 in a match against North Queensland Fury. In May 2012, he underwent a trial period with Sydney FC.

Western Sydney Wanderers

On 2 August 2012, Tyson secured a contract with Western Sydney Wanderers. Serving primarily as the secondary goalkeeper for a season and a half, he made his debut when the starting goalkeeper Ante Čović was sidelined due to injury, managing to keep a clean sheet against Perth Glory.

Perth Glory

Tyson committed to a two-year deal with Perth Glory on 24 June 2015. However, after featuring in only two matches—both in the FFA Cup—his contract was ended by mutual agreement on 18 May 2016.

Return to Western Sydney Wanderers

The day following his departure from Perth Glory, Tyson returned to Western Sydney Wanderers. On 12 April 2018, he and the club mutually agreed to part ways to enable him to explore new opportunities.

NPL Victoria

Following a short tenure at South Melbourne FC competing in the NPL Victoria, Tyson signed with Indian side Chennai City FC on 8 June 2018. He departed Chennai City in November 2018 after a contractual disagreement and subsequently rejoined the NPL Victoria competition with Green Gully SC for the 2019 season. Tyson remained with the Keilor Downs-based club for three seasons, although both the 2020 and 2021 seasons were interrupted and ultimately cancelled midway due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Melbourne Victory

In November 2021, Tyson made his return to the A-League by signing a short-term injury replacement contract with Melbourne Victory. His involvement was mainly focused on the club's FFA Cup campaign (currently known as the Australia Cup), where he started in half of the six matches that culminated in Victory claiming the title.

Return to Sunshine Coast FC

On 4 January 2022, Melbourne Victory announced that Tyson would be leaving following the conclusion of his brief contract. Shortly after, on 13 January 2022, Sunshine Coast FC revealed Tyson’s comeback to the club, marking 14 years since he initially departed to pursue his professional career. For the 2022 FQPL1 season, Tyson was appointed as club captain and was honored with the 'Goalkeeper of the Year' award after delivering an outstanding performance throughout the competition.
