Defender Oceane Maihi is back for the Magic in 2025 to complete an impressive and unchanged defensive line. Gaining her first fulltime contract in 2021, the 1.83m mobile defender impressed during her strong cameos as an impact player, resulting in her inclusion in the 2021/22 Silver Ferns Development squad. Gaining more court time in 2022, Maihi’s progress was cut short when sidelined for the entire 2023 season with a serious knee injury. Her inclusion adds to a tall and mobile defence end for the Magic in 2025. Working her way back in to the side last season, Maihi had limited opportunities but provides value through her aerial game and non-stop doggedness. Originally from Kerikeri, with a background in swimming, in-circle defender Maihi, predominantly a goalkeeper, came through the age-group ranks in the Auckland system after attending Mt Albert Grammar School before going on to play at National Netball League level for the Comets. A physiotherapist by trade, Maihi’s athleticism and work ethic are key cogs to her continued development.
