Fowler-Nembhard shared the news she was pregnant with her second child on social media in early December, which ruled the five-time league MVP out of the 2025 Super Netball season.
Later that month, the club announced the signing of former Vixen and Malawi International Mwai Kumwenda as a replacement player who had herself sat out of the 2024 season due to the pregnancy and birth of her first child.
