During her stint she helped claim six championship titles.
Now the remarkable contribution Frew made has been honoured with a medal bearing her name.
The Wendy Frew Medal will be bestowed annually on the Steel player who demonstrates excellence, commitment and loyalty — all hallmarks of Frew’s netball prowess.
"My love of the game has always been what drives me and I’m incredibly proud of what I achieved wearing both the Sting and the Steel dress,’’ Frew said.
"To have that captured [and for it] to be awarded to future players is a massive honour.”
Frew (nee Telfer) hung up her bib after leading the Steel to a second consecutive ANZ Premiership title in 2018.
Steel’s class of 2021 will be determined to pay tribute to the franchise’s legacy when they face the Central Pulse in Porirua tomorrow.
