Akle joins Silver Ferns

NSW Swifts coach Briony Akle will join the Silver Ferns as a specialist coach for their upcoming international campaigns.

Focusing on attack as a specialist coach, Akle joins head coach Noeline Taurua and assistant coach Debbie Fuller.

She has led the Swifts to three Australian league final appearances, winning the title in 2019 and 2021.

Akle joined the Silver Ferns as a specialist coach at the start of the year as part of the management team at the Nations Cup in England.

The specialist role with the Ferns remains a part-time one which will not have an impact on her position with the Swifts.
