BELLA SMITH
Recruited from: Collingwood
Height: 182cm
DOB: 20/09/01
Position: Defender
Bella Smith was recruited by Collingwood in the 2020 AFLW Draft and prior to that played three seasons with Norwood in the SANFL.
Originally from Cleve on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, Smith has played for the Central Allies, the representative team for South Australia and the Northern Territory at the 2019 AFLW Under 18 Championships.
A rebounding defender, Smith also has the ability to play up forward.
“Bella brings versatility to the side, she can play ruck, forward and back,” AFLW Senior Coach Scott Gowans said.
“The fact that she’s done a few pre-seasons and played a few AFLW games means she brings with her the experience at that top level. She’s also been part of a great program at Collingwood too.
“Bella is a very resilient athlete who has moved to multiple states to pursue her career in AFLW.”
