Netball New Zealand has added 19-year-old Jess McCormack to its Accelerant Group.

McCormack - who's 1.94 metres tall - has represented New Zealand in basketball at the Beijing Olympics and the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, playing 45 games for the Tall Ferns.

Netball New Zealand first identified her as a 15-year-old when she was selected for the national Secondary School team alongside current Silver Fern Paula Griffin and another Accelerant Group member Camilla Lees.
