Born in Mordialloc, Victoria, Sharni otherwise known as Sharnz, is a dual ANZ Championship Premiership player World Cup Champion and a Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist.
Sharni started playing netball at the age of five and her first ever game was with the Bonbeach Stingrays. She retired from a 14-year professional netball career having played 147 games at the National level and over 40 games representing Australia at the international level.
Still at the peak of her career and after achieving over a decade of international accolades including 46 Diamonds caps, in 2018, Sharni decided to challenge herself even further choosing to play AFLW for the Collingwood Football Club, in which she played for 3 seasons, retiring in 2021. When she joined the Collingwood Football Club in 2017, all she wanted was to win a premiership with the Mighty Pies and never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that would be playing footy for their VFLW side (in 2019). Sharni improved dramatically from her first to second AFLW season earning a spot in the 2020 All Australian Team.
