Australian duo for Pulse

The Pulse watched most of their best players jump to Australia but they will have two going the other way.

The Wellington team yesterday announced they had bolstered their midcourt stocks with the signings of experienced Australian duo Lili Gorman-Brown and Emma Thompson for the 2026 ANZ Premiership season.

Sydneysider Gorman-Brown, 26, made her debut for the Swifts in 2022 before playing a key role in the club’s march to the 2023 Super Netball final.

Melbourne-born Thompson, 28, can cover all three midcourt positions and is a dual passport holder, having previously played in New Zealand for the Northern Stars. — Allied Media
