ATHLETE BIO
Eilish Sheerin is an bona fide AFLW superstar.
After just two seasons of AFLW, Sheerin is now a dual All-Australian and dual second-place getter in Richmond's best and fairest. A relative latecomer to the game, Sheerin was clearly ready for the moment.
Spending the first two seasons across half-back, Sheerin will be making a more concerted move to the Richmond midfield in the 2024 AFLW season, bringing her high-kicking, dashing play to the fore.
Prior to Richmond, Sheerin was plying her football trade in the suburban leagues of Sydney before being pushed to elect for the Victorian draft pool in 2022.
As AFLW players continue to play professionally on a part-time basis, Sheerin balances her footballing commitment with a business development managerial role at Playfair Visa and Migration Services.
