Versatile attacker Kayla Graham has re-signed with the Adelaide Thunderbirds for 2026, committing to her second season in pink.
In her rookie season, the South Australian got her first taste of Suncorp Super Netball and grabbed every opportunity with both hands.
Featuring in 13 games in 2025, she recorded 58 centre pass receives, 50 feeds and 40 goal assists, proving her ability to play across both WA and GA.
In Round 3, Graham picked up her first fan-voted MVP nod after slotting 3 super shots at 100% to go with 1 gain and 1 intercept in 17 minutes of netball.
She grew in confidence across the season and stepped up in the final quarter of side’s minor semi-final, with 24 feeds, 37.5 Nissan Net Points and an intercept in 34 minutes.
Adelaide Thunderbirds General Manager of High Performance Jace Bode said the club was excited to work with Graham again in 2026.
“Kayla grew a lot in our environment and on the SSN stage in 2025 and showed a lot of promise for the future,” Bode said.
“She’s a very dynamic player and adds a lot of versatility to our attack end with the ability to play across WA and GA.
“We’re keen to continue working with Kayla and seeing her grow even more in SSN.”
Graham joins already contracted athletes Lauren Frew, Matilda Garrett, Georgie Horjus, Shamera Sterling-Humphrey, Tayla Williams, and Latanya Wilson on the side’s list for 2026.
