One of the league's most electrifying young stars, the former Lion joins the red, white and black with AFLW Premiership, All-Australian and Leading Goalkicker honours at just 23 years of age.
Wardlaw has always been a firm believer of leaving fear behind and pursuing the next challenge. Learning how to play the drums was one of the most recent, but there’s been an exhaustive list before that. Netballer-turned-footballer, Kiwi-turned-Aussie, Lion-turned-Saint; Wardlaw has rarely stood still.
Born in Ashburton, New Zealand (her mother is Māori and family hails from the Waikato region in South Auckland), Wardlaw’s budding football career took off unexpectedly after giving nine-a-side football a go at her local school. Now, the next stage is ready to take off while in red, white and black.
