The Adelaide Thunderbirds have locked in Jamaican star defender Latanya Wilson on a three-year deal that will secure her at the Suncorp Super Netball League club until the end of 2026.
Wilson, who has been with the Thunderbirds since 2021, found her place among the best defenders in the league in 2023, starring across all three defensive positions.
Playing across wing defence, goal defence and occasionally goal keeper, she finished the season in fourth across the league for intercepts with 30 and fourth for deflections with 70.
She was named in the Suncorp Super Netball Team of the Round on four occasions in both wing defence and goal defence, and was named as the wing defence in the 2023 Suncorp Super Netball Team of the Year.
She was also voted by her peers as the 2023 Players’ Player for the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
Thunderbirds High Performance Manager Pitre Bourdon said Wilson would play a key role in the club’s future success.
“Latanya made significant progress in her development in her first two seasons with us in 2021 and 22, and she found a new gear in 2023,” Bourdon said.
“Her combination of talent and commitment has seen her flourish into the versatile and relentless defender she is today.
“We look forward to working with her over the next three seasons.”
