Rangy in-circle defender Georgia Tong continues to make the most of her opportunities with impressive results and will be back for a sixth season with the Magic in 2025. Not the tallest of in-circle defenders, Tong makes full use of her athletic ability where her reach and speed are a disruptive influence. Strong in the air, Tong attacks the ball at every opportunity and produced a compelling 2024 season, resulting in her clinching the Te Rau Mataaho – ANZ Premiership Players’ Award – presented to the overall best performer of the 2024 ANZ Premiership as voted by the players. Tong won selection in the 2021/22 Silver Ferns Development squad, and continues to further enhance her credentials in a potent and mobile Magic defence line. Tong was an influential figure during the 2019 National Netball League where Waikato Bay of Plenty were the beaten finalists and played for NZA during the 2020 Cadbury Series.
