The Captain and Vice-Captain, who led the Swifts to a premiership in 2019 and another Finals Series in 2020, both enjoyed strong campaigns this season, earning selection for the 2020/21 Origin Diamonds squad in the process.
Proud, who joined the Swifts in 2017 and took on the role of club captain ahead of the 2019 season, said she is delighted to re-sign and said missing out on successive premierships only served to further her drive and that of the team.
“I knew when I joined back in 2017 that getting to play for such a prestigious club was a huge honour and I think as a group we’ve done well but missing out on back-to-back this year means our hunger will only be greater,” she said.
“We didn’t get the chance to run out as premiers in front of our own fans due to COVID, and that should be a massive motivation for us to win another title. What better way to make that right than by trying to secure a title on your own patch.”
World Cup winner Hadley, who became a Swifts centurion this season, has been a stalwart of both club and country since making her debut in 2012.
Hadley said she is delighted to recommit to the club she’s supported since childhood.
“This Swifts mean so much to me and I get such a sense of pride every time I step out on court in the red dress. Missing out on another title this year hurts and it should because that means you care,” she said.
“I want to take everything we’ve learned in the Queensland hub and use it to bring us back to the mountain top. I can’t wait to get started again.”
With the current Super Netball Collective Bargaining Agreement expiring at the end of 2021, competition clubs are not permitted to sign players beyond next season.
