The Adelaide Thunderbirds have continued building their 2021 roster with the signing of star defender Shamera Sterling.
The Adelaide Thunderbirds are one step away from finalising their 2021 list with Jamaican star Shamera Sterling signing on for her third-consecutive season.
The star defender backed up her breakout 2019 season with another strong year in 2020, finishing second in the league for Nissan Net Points with 1147 and being selected in the Nissan Net Points Team of the Year.
The Jamaican star was also recognised with the Thunderbirds’ top honour, being named dual Club Champion alongside South Australian rising star Maisie Nankivell.
Thunderbirds’ High Performance Manager Pitre Bourdon said 2020 was another excellent year for Sterling.
“We all know how exciting Shamera is to watch and she’s certainly a crowd favourite. She is a highly skilled and athletically gifted player, making her an intimidating presence on court,” Bourdon said.
“We’ve also been thrilled to see her leadership growth both on and off the court this year and we look forward to seeing her develop further in 2021.”
The Thunderbirds now have just one signing left to round out their 2021 team with the player contracting window closing later today.
