Brittany Bonnici (born 3 August 1997) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

Early life and state football

Bonnici first played competitively with the under-11 boys of the Wallan Football Club. She has since then toured New Zealand as the vice-captain of the Australian AFL High Performance Academy, captained Victoria Metro Youth Girls to a national title in 2015, was selected three times for the Youth Girls All-Australians, and played for Melbourne in the 2015 exhibition match. Following a bad run of concussions in 2015, she only played two senior games for St Kilda Sharks in 2016. As a result of the concussions, she also started wearing a helmet during her games.[1]

AFL Women's career

Bonnici made her debut in round 1, 2017, in the inaugural AFLW match at IKON Park against Carlton.[2] After round 6, she was nominated for the season's Rising Star award.[3]

Collingwood re-signed Bonnici for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[4]

Collingwood re-signed Bonnici for the 2019 season during the trade period in June 2018.[5]

Bonnici had a successful season for Collingwood in 2021, awarded with her maiden All-Australian blazer, named on the interchange bench.[6][7] She led the league for marks and disposals.[8] Because of this, she was selected in Champion Data's 2021 AFLW All-Star stats team.[9]
