Published On: 19 January 2017

Earlier this week Natalie Medhurst and Verity Charles were named as the Captain and Vice-Captain of the Western Australian Suncorp Super Netball team, the West Coast Fever.

Charles’ announcement as Vice Captain comes as her first leadership position in a National league team.

Medhurst returns to the position of Captain following a previous stint in 2014.

Entering her 14th elite netball season Medhurst will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the young team.

As the current longest serving Australian Diamonds player Nat says “it’s an honour to be handed the responsibility of leading our Club.”

“I’m passionate about representing Fever and firmly committed to establishing ourselves as a benchmark within this competition, both on and off the court.” 

Head Coach, Stacey Marinkovich said of the newly appointed leaders “both Nat and Verity live all the values we talk about when it comes to being a West Coast Fever player whenever they take the court, and their examples will play a pivotal role in establishing the culture that will guide this Club to success.”

The Fever will compete in their first match of the inaugural Suncorp Super Netball league on February the 19th against the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
