Waterford’s Kellyann Hogan has become the latest ladies football star to sign for an Aussie Rules club.

The Ballymacarbry player and county team captain has joined Collingwood on a two-year deal. It comes after four Irish players – Vikki Wall (Meath), Erika O’Shea (Cork), Orla O’Dwyer (Tipperary) and Jennifer Dunne (Dublin) – featured in last weekend’s AFLW Grand Final between the North Melbourne Kangaroos and Brisbane Lions.

“We’re excited to welcome Kellyann to Collingwood,” Collingwood General Manager of Women’s Football Jess Burger said in a statement.

“Kellyann will be a great addition to the group as an athlete who possesses outstanding work rate and athleticism as well as natural leadership traits.

“Her agility, ball use and ability to take the game on will be exciting features of her game”.

“Kellyann will make her way over from Ireland next year to join her teammates and we look forward to her showcasing her talents within the main group.”

Meanwhile, the Pies have announced that Cavan's Aisling Sheridan won't be returning next season and have wished her well in the future.
