Jess Hosking (born 2 December 1995) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the AFL Women's (AFLW). Hosking previously played for the Carlton Football Club from 2017 to 2021 and the Richmond Football Club from season six to 2023.

Early life

Hosking has an identical twin sister, Sarah, who also played for Carlton[1] before being traded to Richmond in 2020.[2] Both sisters grew up on the Mornington Peninsula and played netball, before transitioning to football and playing for Seaford in the VFL Women's (VFLW) in 2016 prior to being drafted to Carlton.[1]

AFL Women's career

Carlton (2017–2021)

Hosking was drafted by Carlton with the 78th selection in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] After missing the entire 2017 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury,[4] she made her debut in the eight point win against Collingwood at Ikon Park in the opening round of the 2018 season.[5]

Richmond (2022–2023)

Hosking requested a trade to Richmond in order to reunite with her sister Sarah in the final stages of the 2021 draft period, on 9 June 2021. She was eventually traded alongside picks 55 and 57 in exchange for picks 23 and 40.[6] Hosking was delisted by Richmond at the end of the 2023 season.[7]

West Coast (2024–present)

In December 2023, Hosking signed with West Coast as a delisted free agent,[8] and was later named in West Coast's leadership group leading into her first season at the club in 2024.[9] In week 1, Hosking was among West Coast's best players in its win over her former club Richmond with 15 disposals and two first-half goals, despite having only kicked two goals from her 53 career matches to that point.[10] She was among West Coast's best players in its win over Collingwood in one of week 4's matches with a game-high two goals and nine tackles,[11] but was later ruled out for three to four weeks with a quad strain.[12]
