Australian Diamonds goaler and Sydney sider, Kiera Austin, made the move to the Melbourne Vixens in 2022 after four years with the GIANTS where she debuted in 2018, playing 29 games, and taking out the club’s Most Valuable Player in 2020.

After making her debut for the Diamonds in the Constellation Cup of March in 2021, Kiera ruptured her ACL in round 1 of the Suncorp Super Netball season, which sadly ruled her out for the rest of the year.

Kiera brings composure inside the goal circle and of course versatility. Not only is she is able to pull on both the goal shooter and goal attack bib but is more than capable of plying her trade out in wing attack.
