Born in Australia but with strong New Zealand connections, particularly in the Bay of Plenty, experienced and well-performed midcourter Claire O’Brien will line up for the Magic in 2024. Hard-working with a tenacious training attitude, O’Brien has previously been a training partner for the Mystics before gaining a fulltime contract with the side in 2022. She returned to Australia in 2023 but came back to the Mystics as late season injury cover and impressed with her ability to slot back in seamlessly. O’Brien’s previous experience of playing in Australia’s Super Netball competition and the former trans-Tasman league have proved beneficial for all concerned. Her leadership skills and experience were tailormade for the Mystics first title win in 2021. With her strong resume and no-nonsense approach, O’Brien will add real value to the Magic’s midcourt.
