I couldnt knock it back, she told FiveAA Radio.Im looking forward to being part of something really special with a great club.Noble said Phillips would join the Crows womens rookie list and would also take on a part-time media and development role with the club.Erin has a real toughness and brings years of experience as a professional athlete at the highest level, he said.She has true leadership qualities and I have no doubt she will immediately have a positive influence on our team.Phillips is the leagues latest cross-code recruit, following former Matildas goalkeeper Brianna Davey and cricketer Jess Cameron.
