Sharni Lambden will join the Melbourne Vixens’ game day team in Round 9, replacing injured defender Kate Eddy for the King’s Birthday clash with the Melbourne Mavericks.

A strong and agile athlete known for her ability to swing from the midcourt into circle defence, Lambden was a Melbourne Vixens squad member from 2021-23 and made her Suncorp Super Netball debut with the Vixens in Round 7, 2022.

Her speed and versatility have been evident through her previous appearances at national level, including as captain of the Victorian Fury for their Australian Netball Championships campaign last year and in the Fury squad currently competing in the SN Reserves competition.

“As a Victorian pathway athlete Sharni has previously been part of the Vixens environment, and will bring great versatility to our team while Kate continues her rehab process,” said General Manager High Performance & Pathways, Megan Simpson.

“Sharni is an exciting athlete with plenty of experience as part of our group, we’re pleased to be able to call on her and we know she’ll take the opportunity with both hands.”

Squad member Ruby Barkmeyer remains in the game day team in the absence of Zara Walters (lower back injury).
