The Toronto Blue Jays organization has added to its coaching roster.

Former Canadian women's national team player Ashley Stephenson joined the ranks of the Blue Jays organization on Wednesday, where she will serve on the High-A affiliate Vancouver Canadians in the upcoming season.

The 40-year-old spent 15 years representing the maple leaf, accumulating four Women's Baseball World Cup medals (three bronze, one silver), and a Pan American Games silver in 2015.

"I am really excited for this opportunity," Stephenson said in a release. "I've loved baseball and the Blue Jays since I was three years old."
