Erin Phillips's Biography
The daughter of a South Australian football legend and a prodigiously gifted athlete in her own right, Erin Phillips rose through local basketball ranks to shine as a point guard for the Adelaide Lightning in the WNBL before being selected in the 2005 WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun.
She went on to win WNBA Championships with the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury before taking on the role of development coach with the Dallas Wings.
Phillips shone just as brightly at international level, proudly representing the Australian Opals for more than a decade, including two Olympic Games, where she won a historic silver medal in 2008 to go with 2006 World Championship Gold and 2014 Bronze.
She also spent extensive time in the Polish league, winning 3 Championships and 2 All-Star awards.
Widely hailed as one of Australia’s best athletes and the AFLW’s most decorated player, Erin Phillips joined Port Adelaide as the club’s inaugural AFLW signing in 2023.
Previously Erin returned to Australia and made the switch to football in 2017, joining the Adelaide Crows where she enjoyed an incredibly successful stint at the club that included three premierships and two league best and fairest titles.
Phillips was named Port Adelaide’s inaugural AFLW captain owing to her strong leadership on and off the field. The highly skilled midfielder/forward is one of the most experienced players in the AFLW, well known for her accuracy and goal sense.
In Season Seven she led the club in disposals, contested possessions and score involvements, showing her read on the play is unmatched – making her both a dangerous goal-scoring threat and importantly, a strong facilitator for her teammates.
