'Mix of emotions' as interim Silver Ferns coach steps up

The interim Silver Ferns coach has described a mix of emotions after stepping up to lead the national netball side.

The appointment follows a change at the top of the programme, and comes with a compressed timeframe to prepare a squad for international competition.

Speaking publicly for the first time since taking the role, the coach acknowledged the circumstances were not the ones anyone would have chosen, while saying the focus now sits squarely on the players.

Netball New Zealand is expected to run a full process for the permanent position in due course.
