Kellie-Maree Gibson (born 9 June 1996) is an Australian rules footballer playing for West Coast in the AFL Women's competition. She was one of Adelaide's two marquee players in the inaugural AFL Women's season[1] and has also played for Fremantle. A multi-sport athlete, Gibson began her athletic career as a sprinter, and won a gold medal in rugby sevens at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.[1]
Gibson was selected to play in the first AFL-sanctioned women's exhibition match in 2013, when she was barely 17.[2] Over the following years, she played women's AFL exhibition games for both the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne Football Club.[1]
Gibson was one of two marquee player signings announced by Adelaide in July 2016, in anticipation of the 2017 AFL Women's season.[3] After playing in all seven regular season games and the 2017 AFL Women's Grand Final with the premiership-winning team, Gibson expressed a desire to return to Western Australia. Unable to negotiate a trade with Fremantle, Adelaide delisted her on in May 2017. At the start of the free agency period, Fremantle signed Gibson for the 2018 AFL Women's season.[4]
Gibson sustained a hip flexor injury in a practice match before the beginning of the 2018 AFL Women's season. An initial diagnoses suggested a six-to-eight week recovery time.[5] She made her debut for Fremantle in the final round of the 2018 season, kicking a goal as Fremantle defeated Carlton at Fremantle Oval.[6]
In April 2019, Gibson joining cross-town rivals West Coast for their inaugural season.[7] It was revealed Gibson signed on with West Coast on 25 June 2021.[8]
