The Adelaide Thunderbirds have secured versatile South Australian star Georgie Horjus until 2025, with the 21-year-old signing on for another two seasons in pink.
Horjus made the wing attack position her own in 2023, driving her side’s attacking end to success as a key playmaker.
She topped her side for feeds (326), goal assists (271), and centre pass receives (305), and finished second to Shamera Sterling for overall Nissan Net Points with 1018.5.
In her first SSN finals series, Horjus was named Player of the Finals for the Thunderbirds as they took consecutive wins over the NSW Swifts in the Semi-Final and the Grand Final.
In the big dance, she recorded 88.5 Nissan Net Points to go with 24 goal assists, 33 feeds, 21 centre pass receives, and 1 intercept.
Thunderbirds High Performance Manager Pitre Bourdon said Horjus was integral to the side’s success and the club was excited to welcome her back.
“Georgie played a key role in our success in 2023 and we know she will continue to drive us forward into the future,” Bourdon said.
“She was impressive all year in wing attack and brings exceptional game smarts and versatility to our team, with the ability to deliver in goal attack as well.
“She has achieved a lot at just 21 years of age and we look forward to working with her again to see how far she can take her own game and contribute to the success of the Thunderbirds.”
