Collingwood is pleased to announce the signing of Jemma Rigoni to their AFLW side.

Rigoni has today penned a two-year deal that will see her wear the black and white stripes until at least the end of 2027.

Drafted to Melbourne in 2023 as a father–daughter selection, following in the footsteps of Club great Guy Rigoni, the 21-year-old had previously spent the season as a train-on player with the Dees.

The young talent made her debut against Collingwood this season and went on to play eight games at AFLW level.

Round 10 against the Swans was arguably the defender's best game of the season, collecting 11 disposals and swinging forward to kick her first AFLW goal.

Rigoni played her junior footy with the Oakleigh Chargers alongside new Magpie teammates Charlotte Brewer and young gun Lucy Cronin, together winning the Talent League premiership in 2023.

Executive General Manager of Women’s Football Jess Burger welcomed Rigoni to Collingwood.

“We’re really excited to welcome Jemma to Collingwood, marking a new chapter in her career and one she’ll be able to make her own,” Burger said.

“Her competitiveness, speed and outstanding character will add a real spark to our program and we’re eager to see the energy and influence she will bring to the group.

“With familiar faces like Charlotte and Lucy around her, and given her outstanding work ethic, we’re confident she’ll transition well into our program.”
