Georgina Friedrichs

Friedrichs was born in Zimbabwe and moved with her family to Toowoomba in Queensland when she was eight. Friedrichs had a touch football background and started playing Sevens when she was 18. She quickly made an impact and was called up to make her debut for the Australian team in 2016, spending the next three years as an important member of the squad. It was in 2018 when she suffered a stress fracture in her hip which threatened her career. She spent six months on the sidelines and was on crutches for 10 weeks. She was determined to get back on the field with her resilience making her one of the toughest in the game.
