She will be a development player on Bendigo’s roster for the upcoming season in what will be her first WNBL experience.
Mathews, who attended Spirit development player try-outs earlier this month, said she was looking forward to improving her game with Bendigo.
“I have always strived to play at the highest level I could.” she said.
Mathews has played all 21 games for Rush in the South Eastern Australian Basketball League this year – averaging 18 minutes.
She landed the contract after Spirit head coach Simon Pritchard watched her play for Rush against Nunawading at the weekend.
Matthews said Pritchard had offered her a position on the roster on the spot.
Mathews, who plays with Celtic Tigers in the Ballarat Basketball Association, has represented Vic Country under-16s and under-18s. She also represented Australia in Oceania under-19 qualifiers in New Caledonia in 2010.
