Maddie Boyd is officially in red, white and black, signing on as an injury replacement player ahead of the 2023 AFLW Season.

Coming to St Kilda with 22 senior games to her name following her time between Melbourne, GWS and Geelong, the adaptable tall forward comes into the squad in place of Jayde Van Dyk, who was moved to the inactive list earlier this week.

Boyd was plying her trade for Box Hill in the VFLW prior to this morning’s signing, piecing together a standout season to lead the competition for marks with an average of 5.2 per game.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Maddie to St Kilda,” Head of AFLW Tessie McManus said.

“Maddie brings many traits which will greatly complement our list, in particular our forward line spearheaded by Jesse Wardlaw.

She’s a strong overhead mark and is equally strong at ground level, and her height allows her to jump into the ruck at any given moment.

“We’re excited to have Maddie with us for the upcoming season and wish her all the best for the year ahead.”

Boyd will wear the No. 29 during the 2023 AFLW Season.
