Since making the move to Wellington from Auckland in her first year out of school in 2018, dynamic midcourter Maddy Gordon hasn’t looked back. The livewire Gordon quickly found her niche in the Capital where she went on to forge an impressive career. A super quick and skilful midcourter with a non-stop engine, Gordon’s all-round credentials enable her to slip comfortably between all three central court positions.

Spending a full season at centre along with a growing maturity and improved game structure to compliment her court craft, the midcourt dynamo produced a compelling 2023 domestic season and has continued to go from strength to strength ever since. Accurate and consistent with her ball skills, movement and feeding on attack, Gordon is equally reliable on defence through her relentless disruptive hunting and speed.

Elevated to the Silver Ferns squad in 2020-21, Gordon has shrugged off earlier inconsistencies to cement her spot after missing out on series in 2022 and 2023. Lifting her standards, she bounced back strongly with a recall for the 2023 Netball World Cup and was a standout in the Silver Ferns comprehensive Constellation Cup series win over Australia in 2024.

Gordon was the 2023 ANZ Premiership Player of the Year.
