Double Premiership-winning NSW Swifts co-captain Paige Hadley has been selected for the Australian Diamonds squad which will travel to London to contest the Netball Quad Series in January.
World Cup winner Hadley is one of five midcourt players named for the tour and will head to the four-match series alongside Ash Brazill, Kate Moloney, Jamie-Lee Price and Aussie captain Liz Watson.
The Diamonds take on the England Roses, the New Zealand Silver Ferns and South Africa’s Proteas in the Series from January 16-20.
Former Swift Brazill and Watson are returing after injury and the entire series will be broadcast live and on demand on Fox Sports Australia and Kayo.
“We’re delighted Liz and Ash will return to the court alongside a fast and attacking midcourt with Paige, Kate and Jamie-Lee,” said Australian Diamonds head coach Stacey Marinkovich.
“Each athlete brings a unique skillset to the tour squad and we’re looking forward to seeing these combinations on the court in January.”
The Netball Quad Series tour squad goalers and midcourt have been confirmed, with the defenders set to be announced tomorrow.
