Kaitlyn Phillips packs down for another season at the Seagulls!

She’s a quiet achiever and incredibly humble about the footy resume she has already built.

Born in the NSW town of Orange, Phillips started playing league tag with the country club Orange Hawks and only began playing full contact in 2018.

She’s now considered one of the best forwards in the BHP Women’s Premiership. She’s gone from playing against the NSW country leagues best to playing alongside the world’s best, seemingly in the blink of an eye. In 2019 she played in the NSW Country team at the Women’s National Championships and in the same year went on to represent the Prime Minister’s XIII in their win over Fiji. The Jillaroos coach, Brad Donald, dubbed the group as the next generation of women’s rugby league stars.

And his comments are correct in the case of Kaitlyn Phillips! The now twice capped Indigenous All-Star has made her NRLW debut for the Roosters last year, and we don’t expect it will be her last. Phillips is ready to build on her game and is prepared to take it to the next level.

It will be a pleasure to watch her excel this season for the Gold Coast Airport Tweed Seagulls Women’s BHP Premiership side.
