Malawian international Joyce Mvula is joining the Central Pulse for their title defence in next year's ANZ netball Premiership

The 28-year-old can play both shooting positions, and has been playing in the UK Super League - where she's achieved a 91 percent success rate under the hoop in the last three years.

The Pulse have also signed midcourter Fa'amu Ioane from the Mystics.

The pair replace departed shooter Aliyah Dunn and retirement-bound Erikana Pedersen.

The bulk of the side's championship-winning squad has been retained.
