Emma Pittman (born 29 December 1992) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Gold Coast in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She also has a previous history in association football, having played four matches for the Brisbane Roar in the W-League.

Early life

Pittman was born and raised in Mackay, Queensland but moved to Brisbane at the age of 15 following the tragic loss of her mother.[2] She began playing association football when she moved to Brisbane in an attempt to make friends but her ability soon shone through as she made her way through representative teams. At the age of 20, she was signed by the Brisbane Roar's W-League team.[3]

Association football

Pittman played four matches as a striker including in two starts for the Brisbane Roar in the W-League in the 2012–13 season.[1][4]

Australian rules football

Pittman was a late starter to Australian rules football, only taking the game up in adulthood. She first learnt the game while playing with local club Coorparoo before joining the University of Queensland in the AFL Queensland Women's League. In 2017 she earned selection in the league's team of the year and also represented her state in an exhibition match against Western Australia.[1]

She was later drafted by Brisbane with the club's fifth pick and the 37th selection overall in the 2017 AFL Women's draft.[5] Pittman made her AFLW debut in the Lions' round 4, 2018 win over Template:AFLW Fre at South Pine Sports Complex.[6][7]

In April 2019, Pittman joined expansion club Gold Coast.[8]
