The Northern Mystics have made their first big recruitment move of the off-season, luring former Pulse midcourter Camilla Lees to Auckland.
Lees, who is in the wider Silver Ferns squad and have 11 tests to her name, has been at the Pulse for the past six seasons. But the qualified doctor, who grew up in Pukekohe, is looking for the to recharge her career after missing selection for this month's
Commonwealth Games. Lees said is excited about the opportunity link up with shooters Maria Tutaia and Cathrine Latu in the Mystics attack.
"I'm excited about the chance to play alongside them and I hope I can complement them. The Mystics have always been an exciting team and it will great to be a part of it next year," said Lees.
The 25-year-old she's loved her Pulse experience - the players, the coaching staff and living in Wellington - but it was time for a change, and a fresh challenge as she looks to get back in the frame for next year's World Cup.
Mystics coach Debbie Fuller said Lees will add an element of precision to the attacking line.
"Camilla is consistent, mature and can slot into both centre and wing attack. She has shown she can take on the physicality of the game and extend herself. She adds experience, plays with precision and has a consistently high work rate."
