Four Adelaide Thunderbirds have flown the nest this week, returning home safely to their families.
After the 2020 Suncorp Super Netball season was deferred as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the Club worked quickly to help their players journey home.
English defender Layla Guscoth landed on home soil last Thursday morning, returning to her family in Birmingham.
The 28-year-old doctor by trade will now look to return to her local hospital to help combat the spread of the virus.
South African internationals Shadine van der Merwe and Lenize Potgieter arrived home last Wednesday night.
The duo travelled together after leaving Adelaide early last Monday morning.
Both athletes have gotten straight into their at-home work-outs.
Victorian local Samantha Gooden made her way home early last week, returning to her family home in Melbourne.
Unfortunately for Jamaican defender Shamera Sterling, international border restrictions meant she could not return to her home country.
As an alternative, she travelled to Perth to reunite with three of her Sunshine Girls in Jhanielle Fowler, Kadie-Ann Dehaney and Jodi-Ann Ward.
The four SSN players will live together under Fowler’s roof for the foreseeable future.
Several of the Thunderbirds’ local SA players have also returned to their family homes around the state.
