It's all in the Stars for Rasmussen

The Silver Ferns midcourter Grace Rasmussen has signed with the Northern Stars for next year's ANZ netball premiership.

It ends a four years stint with the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic.

Newly appointed Stars coach Kiri Willis said Rassmussen would provide the team with "significant value...both on and off the court."

"Grace has made her mark in the wing role - where her speed off the line and silky ball skills are a trademark of her play - but can easily slide across the goal attack or pick up the centre bib. She brings a wealth of experience up front for us which was an area we wanted to strengthen" she said.

Rasmussen has 46 test caps for the Silver Ferns.
