Towering shooter Ellie Bird has continued to make significant strides during her time at the elite level and is back for a fifth season with the Tactix in 2022. Standing at 1.96m, the tallest player in last year’s competition, Bird was a telling presence under the Tactix hoop, her increased strength adding another dimension to her physical presence, mobility and rebounding ability. With the on-going presence of Silver Fern Te Paea Selby-Rickit in the Tactix shooting end, Bird’s improvement has been further enhanced by the steadying and experienced influence of her fellow scorer in the attacking third. At a higher level, Bird has been part of the 2020 NZA team and 2019 All Stars team.
