Zipporah “Zippy” Fish (born 4 June 2006) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Sydney Swans in the AFL Women’s (AFLW).
Early life
Fish is from Newman, a small town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Her first name, Zipporah, is of biblical origin.[1] Her father Troy played a few league games for {{subst:WAFL PT}} in the West Australian Football League (WAFL)[2] and some reserves games for {{subst:SANFL PA}} in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), before switching to junior coaching and player development roles with {{subst:WAFL EF}}.
AFLW career
A highly rated junior, Fish was a member of the Fremantle‘s Next Generation Academy[3] and the AFLW Academy programs and was considered a top-five draft prospect.[4][5] Fish was drafted by Sydney with pick 5 in the 2024 AFL Women’s National draft.[6] She made her debut in the opening round of the 2025 AFL Women’s season against Richmond,[7] collecting 26 disposals during the match, the equal-most from a debutante.[6] She received a Rising Star nomination the following week playing against the Gold Coast Suns, finishing the game with 27 disposals and eight intercepts.[8] Although traditionally a midfielder, she also plays at half/full back.
