LG Mystics welcome star defender

Thursday, 27 August 2009

The LG Mystics are pleased to announce Joline Henry has been signed for the 2010 Season. The star defender is the second Magic player the LG Mystics have snared for next season, with shooter Maria Tutaia also making the move north.

Joline admits that she was a Waikato girl through and through, but after 10 years playing in the region she was looking forward to new challenges at the LG Mystics.

LG Mystics coach Te Aroha Keenan said she is thrilled to have the Silver Ferns defender on board.

"I think it took a lot for her to make that decision to move, so we're really pleased that that's the way it's gone for us," said Keenan.

"There are a lot of pluses that come with Joline, we get a really good player as well as someone who has held those leadership roles."

Joline is currently playing for the Silver Ferns in the World Sevens Series, along with fellow LG Mystics team mates Temepara George, and Maria Tutaia.

LG Mystics shooter Cathrine Latu also impresses the crowds, playing for the World Sevens squad.
