Australian basketball player Rebecca Allen has been named the new brand ambassador for Jeep, bringing her dynamic presence on and off the court to the iconic automotive brand. Known for her versatility and toughness, Allen currently plays for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA and continues to build a reputation as a top-tier athlete and leader.
Career Highlights: Rebecca Allen has had a distinguished basketball career both in the WNBA and internationally. She represented the Australian Women’s basketball team, the Opals, in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, helping lead her team to the quarterfinals. On the domestic front, Allen has had a successful run in the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) in Australia, playing for teams like the Dandenong Rangers, Melbourne Boomers, and the South East Queensland Stars. Notably, in 2014, she was awarded the WNBL Robyn Maher Defensive Player of the Year, showcasing her impact on both ends of the court.
Her achievements extend beyond the WNBL. In 2013, she played with the Knox Raiders in the SEABL, where her team won the Championship, and Allen herself was awarded the Barbara Barton Medal for Grand Final MVP. In 2011, she was recognized as the SEABL Youth Player of the Year, highlighting her early dominance in Australian basketball.
Allen’s WNBA career began when she signed with the New York Liberty in 2015 following her success at the World Championship, where she won a bronze medal with the Australian team. Although her rookie season was cut short by a right knee cartilage injury, Allen bounced back and has since established herself as a valuable player in the league. After being traded to the Connecticut Sun in 2023 as part of a three-team deal, she was later traded to the Phoenix Mercury in February 2024 in exchange for Moriah Jefferson.
