The Geelong Venom have re-signed co-captain Alex Sharp for the WNBL27 season.

The 29-year-old will stay put in Geelong for her third consecutive season, as the longest tenured player in the club's short history, her leadership and stability to help form a new foundation under the recently announced Head Coach Cheryl Chambers.

Averaging 7.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, the 100-game WNBL veteran will be an important piece in the Venom’s hopes of a first Finals appearance under the three-time Coach of the Year.

Geelong Venom Board Member Michelle Gerdtz said Sharp’s re-signing was a key priority for the club.

“Alex represents everything the Geelong Venom stands for — leadership, integrity, and a deep commitment to team-first values,” Gerdtz said.

“Her contribution extends well beyond game day. The fact she also played a role in the appointment of Cheryl Chambers speaks to the trust and respect she has earned across the organisation. Securing her for another year is a significant outcome for the club.”

The former Breakout Player of the Year will spend her winter in Victoria in the NBL1 South, playing alongside Townsville Fire Champion Abbey Ellis with the Diamond Valley Eagles.
