Rahni Samson Signs with Lakers in Major Netball Move

BREAKING: The Caroline Springs Lakers have just announced a landmark signing, securing former Melbourne Vixen star Rahni Samson for the upcoming Western Netball League season. This pivotal move marks one of the biggest developments in league history, sending shockwaves through the netball community.

Samson’s renowned shooting prowess and game-changing abilities make her a formidable addition to the Lakers. The club’s netball coordinator, Nadine Oborne, expressed her excitement, stating, “We’ve gone big this year. It’s very exciting.” With the Lakers aiming to build a stronger bridge between their junior and senior programs, this signing is expected to inspire young players across the league.

Samson’s connection to the club stems from a recent visit during a clinic where she felt an immediate rapport with both junior and senior players. “She didn’t hesitate,” Oborne added, highlighting the importance of the community aspect in attracting top talent.

In addition to Samson, the Lakers have also signed Charlize Bellette, who made her SN reserves debut last season with the Melbourne Mavericks. Bellette’s inclusion alongside Samson is anticipated to elevate her game significantly, providing invaluable experience in the goal circle.

The Lakers had a successful season in 2025, with five teams competing and all but one making the finals. Their division 1 team clinched the minor premiership, showcasing the club’s depth and talent. Oborne noted, “We’ve got a lot of juniors coming through into seniors as soon as they turn 15,” emphasizing the club’s commitment to nurturing young talent. She cited the impressive achievements of Heidi Ete, just 14 years old, who made the team of the year in her inaugural season.

With pre-season activities already underway, the Lakers are evaluating whether to enter five or six sides for the next season, including plans for a men’s team in the new division. Oborne stated, “It’s a new chapter for Lakers netball,” indicating a transformative period for the organization.

As the netball community watches closely, the Lakers are poised to make significant strides in the league with their latest acquisitions. Fans and players alike are eager to see how these developments will unfold as the new season approaches. Expect more updates as this exciting story continues to develop!
