Ekenasio wore a different green dress in 2026, returning to the Central Pulse as co-captain for their ANZ Premiership campaign. The Pulse had lost some key members of their squad off the back of the 2025 season and were keen to lock in Ekenasio to return to her home base for the year.
Having previously played for the club from 2015 to 2020, her homecoming was met with plenty of excitement.
During the 2026 season, Ekenasio scored 158 goals at 88 per cent accuracy. Her impact extended beyond the goal circle, with 133 feeds and 144 centre pass receives.
Off the court, Ekenasio spent time at the beach and with her family before making the big move to Perth. She is here on her own for the first block of pre-season, with the family set to join her in the new year.
It has been a huge 2026 for Ekenasio, but we have a feeling 2027 will be even bigger and better!
