Charlotte Thomas (born 5 September 2003) is an Australian rules footballer and the co-captain of the West Coast Eagles in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

AFL Women's career

Thomas played 6 games for Subiaco Football Club in the WAFL Women's in 2020, and 1 game in 2021, being injured for most of that season with a fractured arm.[1][2][3]

In the 2021 AFL Women's draft, Thomas was picked by the West Coast Eagles with pick number 3.[4] The guernsey number assigned to her was number 3, which was presented to her at West Coast's 2022 AFLW season launch by Andrew Gaff, who has the number 3 guernsey on the men's team.[3]

Thomas played her first AFLW game on 8 January 2022, against Fremantle in round 1 of 2022 season 6.[5] The role she plays is as a tall utility.[2]

Thomas was appointed co-captain of West Coast ahead of the 2025 AFL Women's season, alongside Bella Lewis.[6] Aged just 21 at the time of appointment, she is the youngest captain in AFLW history.[6]
