The Adelaide Thunderbirds have strengthened their defensive end for 2022/23, with young Jamaican talent Latanya Wilson signing a two-year deal with the club.
Wilson showcased her athleticism and versatility in her first season in the SSN, moving across all three defensive positions.
The 20-year-old Jamaican international grew in confidence across the season and developed strong connections in the defensive end.
Adelaide Thunderbirds High Performance Manager, Pitre Bourdon said it will be exciting to watch Wilson continue to develop in the years to come.
“We know Latanya has an amazing x-factor about the way she plays and an innate ability to hunt down the ball,” Bourdon said.
“She showed great signs in 2021 and we know she’ll only continue to grow going forward.
“She fit in with the playing group incredibly well and will be an asset for our side in 2022 and 23.”
Wilson joins fellow defender Matilda Garrett, midcourter Maisie Nankivell and attacker Georgie Horjus in signing on for next season.
