Coytey donned the green and gold 78 games and 97 international wickets and an economy of 3.6 across all formats. After a difficult time in the game and priorities around her own health she retired from cricket at 25 in 2016. This saw some time away from the game until in 2019 she signed on with the ACT meteors and Adelaide strikers to make her return and bring experience and fight to many teams around the country and now us at NSW. She is one of the biggest weapons a team could have both on and off the field and we’re so pumped to have you on the poddy.  TW: Please note that this episode touches on the topics of mental health and eating disorders.
