Netball New Zealand has today confirmed Silver Fern Liana Leota will withdraw from the Silver Ferns squad at the end of the Silver Ferns 2011 international programme to join her husband Johnny in England who has taken up a contract with English rugby side Sales Sharks.
Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu said the door is still open for Liana to regain her place in the Silver Ferns squad on her return to NZ.
“Liana has made a decision to spend more time with her family over the next year which we support and we look forward to welcoming her back to Netball when she returns to New Zealand”, Taumaunu said.
