The West Coast Eagles confirm that AFLW player Jess Hosking has informed the Club she has decided to take a break from football this season due to personal reasons.
Hosking joined the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season and in addition to her playing obligations has displayed significant commitment to community work promoting the Club and competition.
"I would like to thank the West Coast Eagles for providing me with the opportunity to continue my AFLW career last season," Hosking said.
"While this has been a difficult decision it is the right time for me to take a break from football for personal reasons.
“I wish Daisy and the girls the best of luck for the season ahead."
The Club requests that Jess’ privacy is respected.
"The Club accepts Jess’ decision to take time away from the game," Head of Women's Football Michelle Cowan said.
"We acknowledge Jess’ significant contribution and wish her all the best with her future endeavours."
