Early life

Hosking was born a minute earlier than her twin sister Jess.[1] Both formerly played netball in their youth and were playing for Seaford in the VFL Women's (VFL) prior to being drafted.[2]

AFL Women's career

Hosking was drafted by Carlton with the club's third selection and nineteenth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] She made her debut in the inaugural AFL Women's match against Collingwood at Ikon Park[4] while her sister Jess missed the inaugural season with a left anterior cruciate ligament injury, making her debut in the corresponding match the following year.[2] On 2 September, Hosking played for Victoria in the inaugural AFL Women's State of Origin match.[5]

In 2018, Hosking recorded a then-league record 16 tackles in Carlton's round 2 win against Greater Western Sydney in heavy rain.[6] Her record was broken two weeks later when Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff recorded 21 tackles, a national senior-level record, in similar conditions against the same opponent in round 4.[7]
