WEST COAST has capped off the expansion and rookie signing period by adding Wallaroo Mhicca Carter (pictured above) to its list.

Carter, 29, is a full-back in her original sport of rugby union, and recently represented Australia against the Black Ferns.

"She's got a solid kick, she tackles, she's fit and she's hungry," West Coast head of female football Adam Selwood said.

"At her age, at 29, it gives us a great opportunity to provide her a really strong career and we will explore what she can provide for the team and how she can fit into the squad."

Gold Coast added key forward Taylor Smith as its final open-age signing.

The 19-year-old is a former heptathlete and hurdler, who represented Queensland as an over-age player at the recent NAB AFLW under-18 championships.

She has been part of the Suns' academy for the past two years, representing the club in the QW Winter Series in that time.

Irishwoman Aileen Gilroy became North Melbourne's last rookie signing.

A Gaelic footballer from County Mayo (the same side that produced Cora Staunton and Sarah Rowe, among others), the 27-year-old has traditionally played off half-back and through the middle.

She has also represented Ireland in soccer as a junior.

Carlton has added the competition's 15th Irish player, with Joanne Doonan joining from Fermanagh Gaelic football club.

Doonan, 25, is a CrossCoders graduate, a program connecting potential overseas players with AFLW clubs, and has good speed, agility and endurance.

All clubs had to submit the paperwork for their rookie – and in the case of expansion clubs, open-age – signings to the AFL by Friday's deadline of August 30.

As-yet unannounced signings are expected to be released over the coming days.
