Caitlin Bassett Career

Caitlin played in the West Australian Netball League with Demons. Bassett played West Coast Fever from 2005 to 2016, before joining expansion side Sunshine Coast Lightning at the start of the 2017 season in the Suncorp Super Netball league. Bassett previously played for the Perth Orioles in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy from 2005 to 2007. In 2008, she played for one half of a game as a member of the Australian Diamonds team. In 2011 Bassett was part of the 2011 World Championship winning Australian Diamonds Team, featuring in the final against New Zealand. Bassett replaced Cox at half time and led the team to a 58–57 victory over the Silver Ferns. Basset's injection into the game is considered pivotal in this victory, shooting at 90% and scoring the last goal in Extra Time to seal the Championship for her nation.

Bassett joined expansion club Sunshine Coast Lightning in the new Super Netball competition in 2017. She was a critical attacking player in an immensely successful side, winning consecutive premierships and capping off the 2018 premiership with an MVP performance in the Grand Final. Basset then joined Sydney-based Giants Netball on a three-year deal commencing in 2019, a move described as a major coup for the club.

After two seasons at the Giants, Bassett and the club went into negotiations to release her from the final year of her deal so she could pursue playing time at Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic. On 8 October 2020, Bassett signed with the Magic for the 2021 season of the ANZ Premiership.

Bassett retired from professional netball in February 2022. Bassett took on the role of a Fox Sports commentator not long after her retirement.

Caitlin Bassett, the former Australian captain, has feared that promising young stars will abandon a career in netball due to the sport's financial crisis.

After Gina Rinehart Hancock's (protesting) racial feud, Netballer Donnell Wallam was fired from Diamonds

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 13, 2023
Donnell Wallam, 29, sparked a firestorm last October when she refused to wear the Diamonds jersey with the Hancock Prospecting logo on it because of remarks made by Mrs Rinehart's father Lang Hancock nearly four decades ago. Mrs Rinehart called a call for her boycott but her colleagues and the backlash sparked an outpouring of a financial crisis for Netball Australia. Despite scoring the winning goal on his debut against England in the wake of the row, Wallam has now been ruled out of the Diamonds squad, with her World Cup place now in doubt.
