Kelsey Browne (born 17 January 1992) is an Australian netball player in the Suncorp Super Netball league, playing for the West Coast Fever

Career

[edit]

Browne began her professional netball career as a replacement player for the Melbourne Vixens in the 2015 ANZ Championship season.[1] She played for the Victorian-based club for two seasons before having a breakout year in 2017 at the Sunshine Coast Lightning in the new Super Netball league, where she developed a reputation as one of the most ruthless wing-attack players in the competition.[3] Browne has represented Australia at under 17, 19 and 21 levels.[1] Browne took her game to another level in the 2018 season and was rewarded with a call-up to the Australia national netball team for the Quad Series and 2018 Constellation Cup.[4] Shortly afterwards she was signed by the Collingwood Magpies, joining sister Madi Robinson at the club for the 2019 season.[5] She returned to the Diamonds for the 2019 Quad Series before winning selection as one of the 12 players picked for the World Cup squad, where she and her teammates won a silver medal.[citation needed]

In Round 13 of the 2019 season, Browne suffered a serious injury to her knee, ruling her out for up to 12 months. Nonetheless, she was re-signed by the club until the end of the 2021 season.[6]
