England rep to replace Peta Scholz for Magic

7:10 pm on 4 June 2010

England international Jade Clarke will replace injured import Peta Scholz in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic team for the ANZ Championship netball competition.

Since the season-ending injury suffered by Scholz four weeks ago, Magic coach Noeline Taurua has taken her time to assess the qualities in her own squad as well as looking further afield before settling on Clarke, a specialist wing defence/centre.

Clarke, who's 26, has been capped 49 times for England since making her international debut in 2002.
