The GIANTS have strengthened the next generation of the GIANTS Netball team by adding two Academy athletes in Amy Sligar and Jemma Donoghue as training partners for the 2021 season.
Sligar, a defensive midcourter and Donoghue, a tall defender, are both currently in the Australian 21U World Youth Cup Squad.
Head Coach Julie Fitzgerald said she was thrilled to be able to upgrade both athletes.
“It’s a reward for their hard work and advancement in the academy program and it’s now an opportunity for them to test themselves in the next level of an elite netball training environment,” she said.
“They’ve made a seamless transition into the top program so far and I look forward to seeing what they both achieve.
“Amy is a work horse and is definitely a star in the making.
“And Jemma is improving each and every session as she gets to learn and play on some of the best shooters in the league.”
Both players will travel to Orange as part of the GIANTS’ squad this weekend.
