Lokotui leaves Tactix

Paris Lokotui will not play for the Mainland Tactix in 2026.

The wing defence has been a big part of the ANZ Premiership-winning side for the past three seasons, having previously played for the Central Pulse. There is no indication where she is heading, but RNZ reported she is considering switching to rugby. She previously played basketball for the Tokomanawa Queens. The Tactix have already lost Te Paea Selby-Rickit, Karin Burger, Jane Watson (Australia), Ellie Bird (retired) and Australian defender Charli Fidler (United Kingdom). — Allied Media
