The Silver Ferns defender was rewarded for another outstanding season with a record-equalling third Dame Lois Muir Supreme Award at the New Zealand Netball awards last night.
Jackson joins former Silver Ferns captain Laura Langman, who also claimed the accolade three times. They are the only multiple winners of the award.
The 28-year-old shared the title with shooter Grace Nweke in 2022 and claimed the outright title for the first time last year.
"It’s a pretty unbelievable achievement and I’m a little bit speechless, to be honest," Jackson said.
"It’s a huge honour and I’m very humble to receive the award once again. I just know I’m very fortunate to be surrounded by such supportive family, friends, team-mates and management and feel so lucky I can share this award with them.
"I never in my wildest dreams thought this was possible but, I guess, just whenever I take the court, I want to go out there and do my job to the best of my abilities.
"And I know, as a leader, when I do that, it helps others to do the same and I just want to give the team the best chance of winning as possible."
Jackson, who has earned 72 caps since 2017, featured in all 11 tests for the Silver Ferns this year and was impressive in their 3-1 series win over Australia.
