The 22-year-old has made her mark in the basketball world, ending her 2025 season in the NBL1 on the short-list of finalists for Women’s Youth Player of the Year, through her leading role with the Dandenong Rangers. Booth’s NBL1 career begun in 2021 with the Kilsyth Cobras, before moving to the Rangers for her 2025 season.
Booth has also been known to trade the basketball for a football, as a dual-sport athlete also playing in the VFLW for Port Melbourne, as well as being a train-on player with Hawthorn’s AFLW program. Her ability to read play, versatility and incredible athleticism is an undeniable show-stopper, making her a valuable figure on the Spirit’s court.
The extremely talented young gun was a member of the 2024-25 Championship-winning Spirit team as a Development Player. Her growth to become a fully contracted WNBL player certifies not only her talent and commitment to the game, but also the work of the Bendigo Spirit coaching staff – led by head coach, Kennedy Kereama – to develop up-and-coming local players.
Booth’s signing marks the second player in the last three years to be promoted from being a Development Player, indicating the strength of the Spirit pathway, with Micah Simpson being elevated from a Development Player contract ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Booth said that she was thrilled to be elevated into the Spirit squad as a fully contracted player.
“I’m thrilled to be back with the Spirit as a fully contracted player for the upcoming season,” Booth said. “It’s been really exciting to be a part of the success of the club last season, and I feel super honoured to be able to go around again and play with such an amazing group of players as we aim to defend our Championship.”
Spirit General Manager, Dan Jackson, shared his enthusiasm on Booth’s signing.
“Georgia is an amazing asset for the Spirit,” Jackson said. “She proved last season that she was capable of performing at the highest level and she earned this opportunity by showing up every day, working hard and doing exactly what was asked of her. Further to this, she's a great person who adds to the team culture in a positive way - she's extremely well like by her teammates, who may have been more excited than Georgia was when we told them of our plans to elevate her to the roster!”
The announcement of Booth’s signing completes the Spirit’s roster for their WNBL Championship defence. Booth joins Isobel Borlase, Kelsey Griffin, Megan McConnell, Olivia Pollerd, Kelsey Rees, Casey Samuels, Micah Simpson, Marianna Tolo and Abbey Wehrung on the Spirit roster for the 2025-26 season.
