Emma Donnelly Signs for Oaklands Wolves Ahead of 2026/27 SLB Women Season

Oaklands Wolves are delighted to announce the signing of Australian-British forward Emma Donnelly for the upcoming Super League Basketball (SLB) Women season.

The 6'1" forward arrives in St Albans following an impressive campaign with the Northern Suburbs Bears in Australia's highly competitive NBL1 East competition, where she established herself as one of the league's most efficient front court players.

Donnelly enjoyed a standout 2025 season with the Bears, averaging 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 made three-pointers per game, while helping Northern Suburbs remain among the top teams in the NBL1 East competition.

Known for her versatility, perimeter shooting and ability to stretch the floor, Donnelly brings a modern forward skillset to the Wolves roster. Holding both Australian and British passports, she will add valuable international experience while strengthening Oaklands' domestic roster options heading into the new campaign. 

Oaklands Wolves Head Coach Lee Ryan welcomed the signing:

"We're delighted to bring Emma to Oaklands. At 6'1", she gives us size, versatility and a genuine ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Emma has been part of a winning environment with the Northern Suburbs Bears and arrives with a fantastic mindset and work ethic. Her shooting ability is a real strength and her potential is off the charts. We are excited to work with her and see her game translate to the SLB.

Donnelly said:

"I'm incredibly excited to join Oaklands Wolves and begin this next chapter of my career. The ambition of the club, its commitment to player development and its proud basketball culture made this a very easy decision.

I'm looking forward to meeting my new teammates, connecting with the Wolves community and helping the team compete for success throughout the season."

Everyone at Oaklands Wolves would like to welcome Emma to the Wolves family.
