Sunshine Girls star goal-shooter Jhaniele Fowler has been voted as the second best netball player in the world in 2018 by Netball Scoop.

It comes after a successful year with the Jamaican national team and at the club level with the West Coast Fever in the Suncorp Super Netball League in Australia.

Fowler, who was in her debut season, scored a record 783 goals and played a huge role in transforming the Fever from a two-win team in 2017 to Grand Final runners-up in 2018. A feat that saw her earning a spot on the All-Star team and being named Player of The Season.

England defender Geva Mentor was voted the best player in 2018 after playing a pivotal role in the Roses winning gold at the Commonwealth Games and also helping the Sunshine Coast Lightning successfully retain their title in the Suncorp Super Netball League.

Completing the top five were Serena Guthrie, Courtney Bruce and Liz Watson and Jo Harten who were joint 5th.
