Fakahokotau To Miss 2022 Season
Grateful for the opportunity to join Te Wānanga o
Raukawa Pulse, talented defender Temalisi Fakahokotau has
opted to take a break from netball for the 2022 ANZ
Premiership season.
The global situation, and having
sacrificed time with family for several seasons after
playing for franchises outside of Auckland has highlighted
to Fakahokotau her priorities, and as such she will step
away from netball for the 2022 season.
``I appreciate
everything the Pulse have done for me since I’ve been with
them but I have decided to take the upcoming season
off,’’ Fakahokotau said.
Pulse coach Yvette
McCausland-Durie was disappointed to be losing the
powerhouse defender but was respectful of Fakahokotau’s
decision.
``We appreciate Tem’s honesty and courage and
just want to act in her best interests and do what is right
for her at this time,’’ the coach said.
A replacement
player for the Pulse will be named in due
course.
