Helen Gloria Roden (born 26 March 1986) is a professional athlete who played for college basketball club TCU Horned Frogs and for Australian rules football club Collingwood in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
Early life and state football
Roden was born in Fiji and moved to Melbourne at the age of one.[1] As a teenager she played in local football clubs, including six years at Oak Park where she won the best and fairest award, but moved to basketball since there were no girls' teams after the age of 16.[2][3] She played for the Victorian School girls' basketball team from 1999 to 2003 and competed for the Australian School girls' basketball team from 2000 to 2003, before graduating from Penola Catholic College in 2003.[4]
Roden returned to football in August 2016, playing the last two games of the season with VFLW club VU Western Spurs, kicking a goal in each game.[1]
Basketball career
In her junior college year, Roden played for Odessa College in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC). In 2005–06, her final year, she averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and led Odessa College to the NJCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship final, which they lost to Monroe Community College. She was named the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Junior College Player of the Year, selected for all-conference, all-region and all-state teams, and was selected to try out for the Junior Australian Team in 2006.[4]
In 2006, Roden joined Texas Christian University's team, the TCU Horned Frogs.[5] In her junior year, she played in every game, starting 21 of them. She finished fifth on the team with a scoring average of 6.0. In her senior year, she played mostly off the bench, recording reserve-best averages of 23.2 minutes and 8.2 points per game. She was ranked fourth on the squad and 25th in the Mountain West Conference in average scoring that season.[4]
AFL Women's career
Roden returned to football with the encouragement of her brother, David Rodan,[1] and was signed by Шаблон:AFLW Col as a rookie-listed player.[3] She made her debut in round one, 2017, in the inaugural AFLW match at IKON Park against Шаблон:AFLW Car, which she ended on the interchange bench due to an injury to her left leg.[6]
Roden was delisted by Collingwood ahead of the 2018 season.[7]
Personal life
Roden's brother is David Rodan, retired professional footballer who played for Шаблон:AFL Ric, Шаблон:AFL Por, and Шаблон:AFL Mel. Roden spells her last name differently to the rest of her family due to a passport error which was never fixed.[1]
