Síofra O’Connell and Aisling Reidy have signed to Carlton’s AFLW rookie list for 2025.
Both originating from County Clare in Ireland, O’Connell and Reidy grew up together, playing Gaelic for Doora-Barefield and even attended University of Limerick together, alongside Carlton’s Erone Fitzpatrick.
The pair caught the eye of Carlton’s recruiters who then travelled to Ireland conducting multiple skills sessions and interviews.
