Making the move from Canberra to Elizabeth, 19-year-old Ella Randall is sure to make waves in the Hostplus SANFLW League this season.
A product of the GWS Academy, Randall, who plays primarily as a dynamic winger, but can also play as a small forward, is keen to test herself in one of the best women’s state competitions in the country.
At 168cm, Randall is set to make an immediate impact at the Doggies as they look to return to finals after missing out in 2025.
