Jade Pregelj (/prəˈdʒɛli/ "prə-jelly";[1] born 22 August 1991) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Brisbane in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW).
Pregelj was born and raised in Logan, Queensland[2] and attended Shailer Park State High School throughout her teenage years.
[3] She began playing junior football at the age of 10 and joined the Logan City Cobras as a teenager.
[6] In a remarkable twist, she relocated to Townsville to continue her military service in 2018 and was reacquainted with a former junior coach and Gold Coast Suns head of women's football Fiona McLarty who convinced Pregelj to begin playing football again.
She went on to be selected in the initial 40-woman squad for the 2020 AFL Women's All-Australian team for her inaugural AFLW season performance.
