Beckford joined Fever in 2024 and played 32 games over two seasons including an appearance in this year’s grand final.
West Coast Fever General Manager Sue Gaudion said: “Undoubtably the decision not to offer Shanice a contract for next season has been one of the toughest in my time at West Coast Fever.
“Performance on the court is one aspect of high-performance sport but it is also important to have great human beings. Shanice is without doubt one of those.
“Shanice is a team-first player who found her own niche at Fever and we have been lucky to have her as a part of our Club. On behalf of the Green Army, I want to thank Shanice for her contribution to the Club.
“She has grown her game from day one at Fever and her development and learning from being in a high-performance environment for the first time will benefit her as she continues her career.”
Beckford said: “Representing West Coast Fever over the past two seasons has been an incredible honour. This team, this club, this community, it's been more than just netball to me. It’s been growth, challenge, connection and pride.
“I must admit I’m feeling a bit disappointed with the recent news but that’s the nature of sport. I leave with no regrets, only gratitude and excitement for what’s next.
“I want to express my gratitude for the incredible opportunity I had to compete at this level. Being invited by Fever to be part of their organisation has been an amazing experience. I truly enjoyed every moment spent in this environment, and I feel we have created something truly special over the past two seasons. Our team has grown both on and off the court, and I believe we’ve built a strong foundation that will continue to thrive.
“The memories and friendships I’ve formed during this time are something I will cherish forever. And not to mention the fans, I am really going to miss running out in front of the Green Army but all good things have to come to end one day but I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to grow my game and grow as an individual.
“Thank you to the fans, the staff, my teammates and everyone who believed in me. Your support has meant more than words can say.”
