The stealthlike defender debuted for the Otago Rebels in 2002 as a 19-year-old in the old national league.
So meteoric was her rise that the West Coast product was part of the Silver Ferns gold medal success at the 2003 Netball World Cup.
In 2006 she won a Commonwealth Games gold medal, something she repeated in 2010 when she returned to netball after a couple of years on the international beach volleyball circuit.
But the closest she s come to winning a domestic title was in 2011 when the Northern Mystics lost to the Queensland Firebirds in the grand final of the old trans-Tasman competition.

There was a lot of anticipation around the debut of Australian Diamonds import Caitlin Bassett for the Magic.
In-form Silver Ferns goal keep Sulu Fitzpatrick completely starved the shooter of any space under the post in the first quarter.
It took about six minutes before Bassett put up a shot and worry started creeping over the brow of Magic coach Amigene Metcalfe as her star signing struggled.
But Bassett started to slowly break away from the shackles of Fitzpatrick and started getting her volume up.
The Magic had struggled for the past two seasons with more of a moving circle and Bassett s 36 from 42 return at 86 percent accuracy, shows the value that still lies in a traditional holding shooter.
