Ross, a left-footed rebounding defender, crossed over to Richmond from Collingwood as an expansion signing during the 2019 AFLW Sign and Trade Period. The former Murray Bushranger and first-round selection played every game for Richmond in 2021 after an injury-interrupted start to her career (12 games in three years prior at Collingwood/Richmond). Ross is a former Australian junior motocross champion. She eventually gave up the sport following a broken neck at the Victorian Championships in 2014.
