    Creating a more dynamic and consistent Silver Ferns attack is top of the priority list for new specialist coach Briony Akle

    Creating a more dynamic and consistent Silver Ferns attack is top of the priority list for new specialist coach Briony Akle


    The New South Wales coach has signed onto New Zealand's staff part-time and will join the team next month ahead of their Taini Jamison series against England.

    The Ferns lost to the Roses and Australian Diamonds at the Nations Cup in January.

    Akle wants to ensure they have depth beyond dominant goal shoot Grace Nweke .
