“I am super excited to be back playing for the Boomers.

Madgen holds the Boomers in high regard and is looking forward to being able to help complete the team in an exciting year for the league – open to only Oceania players.
“The club has a great history, being the longest running female professional sports team in Australia and that says a lot about it as a club.
“I am excited to build on a great season the Boomers had last year and can’t wait to get to work with the girls.”
