Part of the Steel environment since 2018, shooter Georgia Heffernan will be back in familiar colours in 2026. 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 and finished 2025 with a similar splash when playing a key role in the Silver Ferns late season 2-1 series win over England. Hitting new heights in her all-round game adds lustre to an impressive-looking shooting end for the Steel in 2026. An adept long-range shooter, the rangy Heffernan is a fine all-round athlete with strong ball-handling and movement skills. She won the Aspiring Silver Ferns award in 2022 and has continued to build on those attributes. 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. 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.
