Corban Baxter is one of the pioneers of modern day professional NRLW.

But her sporting journey actually started with a love of netball. Something she refused to give us as she went on to raise her son from the age of 16.

While managing motherhood, Corban discovered the lure of rugby league, and hit the ground running, Going from spectator to Jillaroos player within twelve months. 

Channelling her self-described calmness and positivity, she went on to captain the Maori all-stars and eventually captain the roosters to Premiership success in 2022.

The Female Athlete Project is excited to announce the 2024 TFAP Awards. These awards are set to amplify, recognise and celebrate Australian athletes' achievements in sports. Nominations close THIS Friday.
