Amy Parmenter is the sixth player to re-sign with the GIANTS, with the star wing defence re-committing to the club for a further two seasons.
Since making her debut in round one of 2019, Parmenter has continued to improve her game and capture the attention of not only GIANTS fans, but netball fans nation-wide.
Across her three seasons, Parmenter has played 43 games for the club, missing just the two games due to injury or illness.
In her first Suncorp Super Netball Season she was named the Rebel Rising Star and from there was named in the Australian Development Squad in 2020 before most recently earning selection in the Origin Australian Diamonds Squad for 2021/22.
The 24-year-old continued her bid as one of the league’s best wing defenders in 2021, finishing the season with 31 intercepts, 71 deflections and 667 Nissan Net Points – the highest for any wing defence.
Parmenter said she is looking forward to being a GIANT next year.
“I bleed orange,” she said.
“Each year I feel like we get a little bit better, a little closer to that trophy and 2021 has set us up really well.
“As much as the Grand Final experience broke our hearts, it will only do us good and fuel the fire for 2022.
“With some new and fresh faces, I’m excited to see how we can continue to grow as a club and challenge each other to become better on and off the court.”
Parmenter is the sixth player announcement and the sixth player to commit to a two-year deal, the maximum currently allowed based on the leagues new licensing and contracting deal.
She joins captain Jo Harten, young guns Tilly McDonell and Sophie Dwyer, as well as in-from defender April Brandley and fellow Diamonds squad member Jamie-Lee Price as GIANTS for 2022 and beyond.
Meanwhile, Kiera Austin and Kristiana Manu’a have advised the club they will be playing elsewhere in 2022, while Sam Poolman announced her retirement from the game.
Clubs have until October 8 to finalise their squads, with more announcements to be made in the coming days.
