Annabelle Codey carries around a surname synonymous in Australian rugby with her father David Codey representing the Wallabies on 13 occasions, including as captain in 1987.

Codey started her own career through touch rugby at the age of 18 and her rapid rise led her to captain the local team Eastern Suburbs side in Brisbane.

Codey then quickly advanced to join the Queensland Reds squad for the Super Rugby Women’s competition.

Strong performances led her to reaching the pinnacle with her international debut for the Wallaroos against New Zealand in 2022.

In 2023 Codey signed with the Loughborough Lightning in the UK. She had a brief stint there before returning to the Reds, followed by the NSW Waratahs, where she is now based.

Codey spent the 2024 season in the rugby wilderness but earned a recall to the Wallaroos in 2025 after strong form.

She was rewarded with World Cup selection last month for a maiden appearance.
