After a decorated 17-year career, @natmedhurst has announced her retirement from netball. ✨She departs as one of the greatest goal attacks to play the game and as one of the nation’s most capped players.

Thank you for everything Nat. 🖤We’re excited to see what’s next for you.

WOW! Its is unsurprising but still very sad that we won’t get to see her play again. What an amazing career, acheiving so much! Good luck to whatever comes next!!

What an AMAZING career for her so congratulations to her. This only gives more opportunities for Pies to develop Sinclair and Allen now so it will be interesting to see what they do.

Amazing career!! A long list of accolades.
Sad that it’s another player we don’t get to watch play out her final game.
Very annoying as it’s all because Queensland wouldn’t give her partner permission to travel with her to care for her baby.

Really?! But didn’t players like Brandley come over with their child and partner?

@netballcrazy1 I think Brandley was already in NSW so it was fine

Brandley, husband and baby came into QLD before the border closure. As did all of Giants and Swifts hence no quarantine required for them.

Medhurst would have been coming from Melbourne. Collingwood and Vixens all went through a 14 day quarantine.

This one really surprises me. She seemed so keen to come back and was looking to be in great shape. I thought she’d be back next season for sure. Completely understandable decision though, what a wonderful career she’s had! So sad we won’t get to see her play again.

Nat Medhurst bears battle scars but leaves netball an important off-court legacy

Very surprised. She was posting on Instagram that she was back in training and looking fit.
Great career! Issues with some coaches, but she was a very good player.
The Medhurst McMahon combination!

Nat is my fav ever Diamonds player. Diamonds have gone downhill ever since her dumping.

First post in a long while. I thought Fever’s post about Nat retiring was pathetic and couldn’t have been more brief, but fitting given the way they shafted her with little notice.

Great career from Nat Medhurst, amazingly she almost made it back on the court for the end of #SuperNetball https://t.co/Fgyu1oIQFZ #COVID19Aus

We can thank the Qld Govt for this. Exemptions for 400+ AFL hanger-onners and THEIR partners and kids, but not for an sportsperson‘s partner. 🤬
The hypocrisy is stunning.
