Early career
From Adelaide, where he played at underage levels for the Craigmore Cricket Club, Head represented South Australia at both under-17 and under-19 level, making his debut in the National Under-19 Championships at the age of 17. He went on to play 18 under-19 One Day International (ODI) matches for the Australian national team, including at the 2012 ICC Under-19 World Cup. Having been awarded a rookie contract by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), Head made his first-class debut for South Australia during the 2011–12 season of the Sheffield Shield, in a match against Victoria at the Adelaide Oval. He went on to play in each of South Australia's three remaining Shield matches, scoring two half-centuries with a best of 90 runs against Tasmania, which included a 177-run partnership with Michael Klinger (219 not out).
