Ellie Hampson

Ellie Hampson (born 8 February 2001) is an Australian rules footballer playing for Gold Coast in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW).

Early life

Hampson grew up in Townsville and attended William Ross State High School. She grew up playing soccer and was considered an outstanding prospect. At the age of 15, she began playing Australian rules football for the Hermit Park Football Club and was a junior state representative in both sports but decided to focus on the latter due to better junior pathways. She was one of the Gold Coast Suns' three inaugural signings for the women's list and her acquisition was announced on her 18th birthday. She relocated to the Gold Coast for the 2019 season and began playing QAFLW football for Coorparoo. She would go on to play part in Coorparoo's 2019 QAFLW premiership and was named an Under 18 All-Australian as well as Queensland's MVP at the 2019 AFL Women's Under 18 Championships.
