Following a standout 2024-25 WNBL season, forward Chloe Bibby has solidified her immediate future, officially re-signing with the Perth Lynx on a new multi-year deal. The announcement comes as Bibby continues to build her profile as one of Australia's most reliable and versatile scorers.
In the recently concluded WNBL season, Bibby was a cornerstone for the Lynx, averaging impressive numbers and cementing her role as a primary offensive threat. She was consistently among the team leaders in points and rebounds per game, showcasing the sharpshooting and physicality that have become her trademarks since her successful US college career at Mississippi State and Maryland. Her performance earned her high praise from coaches and analysts, with many noting her improved defensive efforts and leadership on the court.
Currently, during the WNBL off-season, Bibby is playing professionally in Europe, continuing a pattern of competing year-round to hone her skills. This international experience is seen as a critical component of her development as she pushes for a permanent spot on the Australian Opals national team.
With the FIBA Women's Asia Cup scheduled for later this year, Bibby's consistent performance both at home and abroad has reportedly placed her firmly on the radar of the national team selectors. Sources close to Basketball Australia suggest that she is a strong candidate for the upcoming Opals selection camp.
Her new contract with the Perth Lynx signals the club's intention to build its roster around a core of dependable local talent. In a statement, the Lynx organisation expressed their excitement to have Bibby return, citing her work ethic and connection with the fans as invaluable assets to the team. Bibby's focus now will be on finishing her European season strong before returning to Australia to prepare for the Opals camp and the 2025-26 WNBL season.
