Adelaide Crows player Scott Thompson welcomes daughter

Adelaide Crows football player, Scott Thompson and partner Ashe Holbing, welcomed their first child together this month. The baby girl, Ava Lily, who arrived March 9th, caused Scott to miss a pre-season game but that didn’t worry him;

I had to miss the West Coast game but it was definitely worth missing.

Fatherhood is already amazing, according to Scott;

It’s amazing, a great feeling. We had no idea what the sex of the baby would be, so it was a nice little surprise.

Ava is so delightful that they are planning more kids already!

We would like to have another couple of kids but we haven’t any major plans sporting-wise for them.
