A player on the rise, promising shooter Georgia Heffernan will be back in Steel colours in 2024. A Silver Ferns Development and NZ A Squad member, 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. An adept long-range shooter, the rangy Heffernan is a fine all-round athlete with strong ball-handling and movement skills. Heffernan completed 2022 on a high when winning the Aspiring Silver Ferns award. She was also a part of the history-making Mixed Invitational team in the Cadbury Netball Series during 2022. She 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.
