Joanna Sutton (born 13 July 1986) is an Australian netball player in the ANZ Championship, playing for the Adelaide Thunderbirds.[1][2] Sutton previously played for the Sydney Swifts (2006) and the AIS Canberra Darters (2004–05) in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy.[3] She is of Rotuman and Australian parentage. She is the sister of National Rugby League player John Sutton.[4]
Sutton returns home to join the NSW Swifts for the 2012 ANZ Championship.
The former AIS and Australian 21/U representative is a NSW junior having started her netball career with Randwick at the age of seven.
A three-year stint with the Adelaide Thunderbirds (2009 – 2011) saw Sutton named in the Diamonds Squad for the first time in her debut ANZ Championship season.
Unfortunately her 2010 season was cut short after rupturing her Achilles tendon in round one, ruling her out for the season and sidelining her for the Thunderbirds premiership tilt. A thorough rehabilitation process saw her make a successful return in 2011, playing 12 games during the season.
