Fever has retained premiership stars Jess Anstiss and Alice Teague-Neeld for three seasons as well as Sunday Aryang and Jhaniele Fowler for a further two seasons.
The Club has added the experience Kelsey Browne in the midcourt for season 2024, while the arrivals of Roses Captain Fran Williams and former Sunshine Coast Lightning player Kade-Ann Dehaney will bolster the defence.
The future is bright for Fever with the signing of young guns Jordan Cransberg and Olivia Wilkinson for three years each.
Head Coach Dan Ryan said the Green Army should be excited about the familiar faces returning combined with the fresh injection of x-factor players.
“I’m so excited about what this team can become, and our mission is going to be to become the best team we possibly can be. All 10 players contributing, playing a role, using their skillsets and weapons to help get us across the line,” Ryan said.
“It’s going to be ferocious West Coast Fever like always, but we are going to look a little bit different and that’s what I’m really excited by.”
Ryan said the Club had a clear strategy during recruitment to ensure the team was very versatile.
“I think the most important thing to take out of last season is that it really does take a full team of 10 to win the competition, which is what we saw from the Thunderbirds and Swifts,” he said.
“We’ve got a really deep squad. We’ve got positional coverage in every single position on the court and we can roll the subs in any position without having to make too many shuffles across the court.
“I’m excited by enough continuity that we can keep doing what we’re doing that’s seen us be successful over the past couple of years.
“But we also have some really new, exciting players coming into our line-up that can make us change the game, shift our game plan, shift our strategies and that unpredictable nature is going to be a bit of a competitive edge for us.”
West Coast Fever will officially commence pre-season training in the new year.
