BIO:
The second half of the Harrison duo, Samantha is a dynamo who can play anywhere in the midfield or up front. She makes herself a nightmare to mark with her talent on the ball, and her elimination skills often leave opposition defenders red-faced.

Samantha’s talents were recognised in 2010 when she was named young player of the tournament at the Four Nations in the Netherlands.

Originally from Whangarei, Samantha now studies in Auckland.
