Brown joins Pulse in trans-Tasman netball

Silver Ferns goal attack Jodi Brown, unwanted by Southern Steel after a three-year stint, has signed with Central Pulse in the trans-Tasman netball league.

Silver Fern Jodi Brown has confirmed her shift north to Wellington, signing with the Central Pulse for next year's trans-Tasman netball league.

The 33-year-old goal attack, who has 42 caps over an eight-year international career, was part of the Silver Ferns' team who won silver at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

She had spent the past three years with the Southern Steel, who opted not to renew her contract for next year's championship.

Brown also turned out for Canterbury Tactix in 2008-09 and Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic in 2010.

She will renew her partnership with recently retired Silver Ferns shooter Irene van Dyk, who has already signed on for another stint at the Pulse after shifting south from the Magic last season.

Versatile defensive midcourter Joline Henry has also confirmed she will return for her fourth season with the Robyn Broughton-coached Pulse, joining teammates Katrina Grant, Liana Leota and new signing Ameliaranne Wells at the New Zealand trials next month.

The Pulse, who finished a disappointing sixth this year, have also snapped up 23-year-old midcourter Hannah Poff, who left the Tactix in 2011 to concentrate on playing rugby.
