ANZ Premiership Offseason Update: June 2023
THE 2023 ANZ Premiership season may have only finished a few weeks ago, but already teams are finalising their squads for 2024.
With this in mind, let’s take a trip around the league and see where every club is at with their list.
Pulse
Unfortunately for Pulse fans the Wellington side have not dropped any team news yet, so fans need to wait a little longer for some news.
Magic
The Magic have announced their full squad for 2024, with some experience mixed with some new faces among the names set to pull on the Magic dress next year.
Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Erena Mikaere are not going anywhere next season, but they will be joined by five new team mates – Claire O’Brien, Reeghan de Bono, Saviour Tui, Oceane Maihi and Ali Wilshier.

So far they have announced one signing and three departures.
Former Steel defender Kate Burley has come back to the Stars after three seasons away from the club.
Meanwhile Jamie Hume is leaving the club with no word on where she will be playing in 2024.
Elle Temu and Gina Crampton are the big departures though, with the pair both taking a break from the league and are set to join their partners in Australia and the USA respectively.
Steel
Unfortunately for Pulse fans they have also not dropped any team news yet, so fans need to wait a little longer for some news.

There has been very little change to the 2023 line up so far, with Christchurch local Jessica Allan the only new face so far.
