Jodi-Ann Ward

Widely regarded as one of the league’s premier defenders, Jamaican international 
Jodi-Ann Ward continues to be a cornerstone of the GIANTS’ defensive end. After 
joining the club ahead of the 2024 season following her time at Collingwood, Ward 
has brought experience, versatility and intensity to the defensive line up. A member 
of the 2023 Suncorp Super Netball Team of the Year, the 178cm defender is most at 
home in goal defence but is equally effective at wing defence and goal keeper. 
Renowned for her aggressive, attacking style, Ward covers the court with speed and 
purpose, consistently applying pressure and winning crucial ball in all areas of 
defence. Ward is currently recovering from an ACL injury and remains focused on 
her rehabilitation as she works towards a return to the court.
