Steph Wood was the first player signed to the Sunshine Coast Lightning and she’s been an integral member of the team ever since. Smart and creative in attack, Wood provides leadership and experience in the goal circle. Named the joint winner of Lightning’s Player of the Year Award alongside Karla Pretorius in 2018 was reward for effort after a stellar season, culminating in the Club’s second premiership win. Predominantly lining up at Goal Attack, the 28-year-old also occasionally features at Wing Attack.

Wood is a current representative in the Diamonds team that played in the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019, having first being named in the Australian side in 2015 – the same year she made her national league debut for NSW Swifts.
