Part of the Steel environment since 2018, shooter Georgia Heffernan will be back in familiar colours in 2025. Heffernan started 2024 with a bang when making her Silver Ferns debut at the Nations Cup after initially travelling with the team as a training partner but in an injury-ravaged Steel team failed to maintain that form during a disrupted domestic campaign. An adept long-range shooter, the rangy Heffernan is a fine all-round athlete with strong ball-handling and movement skills. She completed 2022 on a high when winning the Aspiring Silver Ferns award and has all the attributes to push her game to new levels. Heffernan was part of the history-making Mixed Invitational team in the Cadbury Netball Series during 2022 and was a bronze and silver medal winner with the FAST5 Ferns at the 2022 and 2023 FAST5 Netball World Series, respectively. She will, once again, team up with her identical twin sister Kate at the Steel. Heffernan has a strong sporting pedigree, also being a talented cricketer, who played for the Otago Sparks before making netball her priority. She is the daughter of former Silver Fern Annette Heffernan.
