Lightning sign Brook, Elsworthy, McKay, Nagy, Hunter

MAC Adelaide Lightning have contracted four more South Australians and a locally-based international for the club's WNBL "rebuild campaign" of 2016-17.

Norwood Premier League championship-winner Chelsea Brook, North backcourt pair Sarah Elsworthy and Shannon McKay, South shooting guard Ieva Nagy and Sturt’s New Zealand Tall Ferns playmaker Jordan Hunter all have been secured for the forthcoming season.

Hunter was signed by the Sabres after the aspirations of Lightning-bound point guard Dani Angley were cruelled by an ACL tear during the Premier League season.

The quintet join four-time Olympian Laura Hodges and fellow South Aussies Alex Ciabattoni and Jess Good, along with imports Samantha Logic and Colleen Planeta, plus centre recruit Tayla Roberts in coach Chris Lucas’ new-look team.

I found out today that the guy I work with's niece is Chelsea Brook. So, pretty cool that she's playing for the Lightning now.

" i Have moved to Adelaide Lightning in 2016/17 after i wasn't offered a contract from Canberra capitals after i joined in 2013. i hope this will be good move after a couple of injures this year."
