Star Signing - Olivia Evans
Making the move down south was an easy choice for former Woodville-West Torrens player Olivia Evans, who hails from the southern suburbs.
A talented winger and midfielder, Evans brings another scoring option for South Adelaide as they look to win their third premiership in as many years under coach Rick Watts.
Evans played all possible games for the Eagles in season 2025, including the club’s maiden Hostplus SANFLW League grand final appearance.
