Flames to bring champion guard Ally Wilson to Sydney on two-year deal

Currently in training camp with the Washington Mystics, Wilson’s commitment adds significant firepower and big-game experience to a Flames roster continuing to take shape under Head Coach Renae Garlepp.

Wilson said she is extremely excited to commit to the Flames.  

“It feels like a full circle moment for me, I’ve won a Championship with this organisation and played many years of my career here! I can’t wait to play for Renae, I admired her as a player and I am eager to continue to develop under her and help get Sydney back to playing finals basketball.”

A two-time WNBL Champion, including a title with the Flames, she was also named to the WNBL First Team in 2025/26 after an outstanding campaign where she averaged 14.1 points, 5.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game, leading her team to the Grand Final.

Beyond domestic success, Wilson has represented Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics in 3x3 and played a key role in the Opals’ gold medal-winning 2025 Asia Cup campaign.

“I’m really excited to welcome Ally back to the Flames,” Garlepp said. “She’s an outstanding talent who impacts the game in so many ways, but what really stands out is the passion and competitiveness she plays with every time she steps on the floor.

“She brings great energy, toughness and a real will to win, and we can’t wait to have her in Sydney.”

Wilson’s return will mark a significant statement for the Flames as the club continues to build a roster defined by championships.

A proven winner, Wilson’s homecoming will bring an edge to a Flames side determined to shape a fierce new era.
