In-circle defender Abby Erwood was first selected for the Steel while still a teenager in 2016, remaining a fixture there for the next five years. Recalled last year after an absence of three seasons, Lawson delivered an impressive 2024 campaign in an injury-depleted team and has been rewarded with another Steel contract for 2025. A tireless operator, perseverance has paid off for the resolute Erwood, the 1.81m defender returning consistently strong performances last season through a mix of grit, a team-first attitude and strong athletic ability. Mobile and with a long reach, the willowy defender is an effective and disruptive foil in the defence line. She earned selection in the 2019-20 Silver Ferns Development squad and was a member of the World Youth Cup-winning NZU21 team in 2017.
