Silver Fern Liana Leota will withdraw from the Silver Ferns squad at the end of the Silver Ferns 2011 international programme.
Leota is set to move to England to join her husband, Johnny, who has taken up a contract with English rugby side Sales Sharks.
Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu said the door is still open for Leota to regain her place in the Silver Ferns squad on her return to NZ.
"Liana has made a decision to spend more time with her family over the next year which we support and we look forward to welcoming her back to Netball when she returns to New Zealand."
