Rebecca Ott (born 9 August 1994) is an Australian-New Zealand professional basketball player and Australian rules footballer.

Basketball career

[edit]

WNBL

[edit]

After impressive performances for the Knox Raiders in the semi-professional Big V competition, Ott was signed by the Melbourne Boomers for the 2016–17 season.[1] In March 2017, Ott was re-signed for her second season with the Boomers after strong showings in her debut season.[2] This season, Ott will play alongside the likes of Liz Cambage & Jenna O'Hea.

National team

[edit]

Due to her New Zealand parentage, Ott was encouraged to attend the Tall Ferns training camp by her Boomers and Tall Ferns assistant coach, Guy Molloy.[3] Ott has been selected in the final roster for the 2017 FIBA Asia Women's Cup, there she will make her international debut.

Australian rules football career

[edit]

Ott was elevated to the St Kilda squad as an injury replacement player before the 2021 AFL Women's season.[4] She made her AFLW debut in the round 4 match against Geelong.[5] Her season was ended a few weeks later when she injured her knee playing in the VFL Women's league.[6] In June 2021, she extended her contract by a year.[7]
