Biography

Back for a third season with the Pulse in 2024, 1.92m shooter Amelia Walmsley is set to build on the rapid rise she has made since gaining her first fulltime contract fresh out of Howick College in 2022. Banking valuable experience of life as an elite-level netballer, Walmsley has made great strides in all facets of her game after delivering a breakthrough campaign in 2023. Having limited court minutes in her first year, the rangy and talented shooter quickly answered the varied challenges of top-flight netball with an impressive 2023, resulting in selection in the 2023-24 Silver Ferns squad. Unexpectedly thrust into the starter’s role as the Pulse’s main shooter at the start of last season, Walmsley grabbed her opportunity with both hands to quickly stamp her mark at the elite level while playing every game during the 2023 season. A player with a heap of potential, the long-limbed shooter has improved her footwork and handling skills while height and accuracy under the hoop make her a ready target alongside her rebounding ability.
