Charlotte Harrison

 

   

 

BIO:
Charlotte was one of the youngest players ever selected for the Black Sticks when she made her debut in 2005 against Australia as a 16-year-old.

She is a rare talent on attack and can read the game well at critical times. Charlotte uses speed, vision and strong individual skills to her advantage and has the uncanny ability to get herself into prime position in front of goal.

The former Northlander is a beautician in Auckland and she goes out with Black Stick Steve Edwards.
