'Big opportunity for netball debut at 2032 Olympics

The 32-year-old was born in Townsville, a city on the north-eastern coast of Queensland, whose capital Brisbane will host the Games in eight years' time.

"To have international eyes on netball in countries that are probably not as familiar would be incredible. There's a really big opportunity in 2032 for Australia and the Olympic committee to bring netball in and I would love to see it," said the former Diamonds vice-captain on the sidelines of the Mirxes Nations Cup at the OCBC Arena.
