Double boost for Williamstown as Chisholm and Tyson re-sign

February 24, 2026
Williamstown Football Club is pleased to confirm Ella Tyson and Phoebe Chisholm have recommitted to the Seagulls’ VFLW program for the 2026 season, further strengthening the Club’s depth, versatility and on-field leadership.

Recruited from the Western Jets, Tyson made her VFLW debut in 2024 and has continued to develop across her first two seasons in blue and gold. The hard-running midfield-forward featured in 12 matches in her debut year and has added six games in 2025, while also playing eight senior matches with Williamstown CYMS (VAFA Premier Women’s).

Her work rate, willingness to compete and steady improvement have seen her retain her place in a competitive line-up, reflecting her commitment to growth within the program. 

Chisholm, who made her VFLW debut in 2021 and joined Williamstown from the Western Bulldogs VFLW in 2022, remains an important presence both on and off the field. After playing three matches in 2024, she returned from a foot operation in 2025 to make her season debut, showcasing resilience and professionalism. 

The recommitment of Tyson and Chisholm reinforces Williamstown’s focus on developing emerging talent while maintaining strong leadership foundations as the Club builds towards 2026.
