Making a successful move to Wellington last season, hard-working midcourter Fa’amu Ioane returns for a second season with the Pulse in 2024. In search of more court time, the athletic, dogged and fleet-footed Ioane, who mainly lines up at wing defence, made the position her own in 2024 while adding another dynamic to a lively Pulse midcourt. Having started her elite level career in 2016, the energetic midcourter has plenty of experience under belt where in recent times consistency and variety have added to her growing resume. Predominantly a nuggety, stubborn and effective wing defence, Ioane is also looking to build on her game at centre. She has continued to refine her play through extra fitness and a reduced penalty count while fulfilling her early promise after being part of the richly talented NZU21 team who went on to claim the World Youth Cup in Botswana in 2017. She has been selected in the 2023-24 Silver Ferns Development squad.
