Not going to Japan was an easy decision for Phoenix Karaka
Not going to Japan was an easy decision for Phoenix Karaka
21 August 2021
The 27-year-old has re-signed with the Northern Mystics for the 2022 ANZ Premiership netball season, joining skipper Sulu Fitzpatrick and Michaela Sokolich-Beatson in the defence end.
Karaka's partner is Blues and All Blacks lock Patrick Tuipulotu, who is heading overseas at the end of the year for a stint in the Japanese Top League.
Karaka will instead stay in New Zealand with her baby daughter, because she wants to secure her spot in the Silver Ferns for next year's Commonwealth Games.
