Bio:

Familiar to both the elite level and the GIANTS, Hicks returns to AFLW following a year away from the game. After spending the past season playing and coaching with Macquarie University, Hicks is refreshed and ready to give football a second chance.

From the Recruitment team:

“New head coach Cam Bernasconi flagged the idea of Jodie coming back onto the list but with the idea of her playing as a defender. After trialling it in our winter series games against the Swans, we decided it was the right fit for Jodie and the club. We love her character and natural footballing ability and we’re stoked to have Jodie back on the list.”
