    A comeback for the ages for an almost 40-year-old Silver Ferns great

    A comeback for the ages for an almost 40-year-old Silver Ferns great


    Former captain Casey Kopua is coming out of retirement ... for a second time ... to feature in Australia's Super Netball as injury cover.

    Kopua famously un-retired in the lead-up to the 2019 World Cup final victory in Liverpool ... which was her last competitive game.

    She's joining the Greater Western Sydney Giants as injury cover.
