HAVING secured arguably the best player for this year's NBL 1 North women's competition, Ipswich Force players, coaches and fans are counting down the days.
Medal-winning Olympian Abby Bishop will bolster the talented Ipswich women's line-up when she returns to Australia following her latest stint with top four European league team Virtus Bologna.
For new Force head coach Brady Walmsley, the wait will be worth it.
"It's a big signing and I think it's probably bigger than most people have realised,'' the well-travelled coach said.
"She's an Olympian and a WNBA champion, WNBL MVP so there's not a lot of those going around.''
