Storm Purvis (born 20 April 1993)[3] is a New Zealand netball player who plays for the Silver Ferns[4] internationally, and for the Northern Stars in the ANZ Premiership. She plays in the GD and GK positions.
Purvis started her netball career playing for Auckland Waitakere, and was a Northern Mystics training partner in 2011 before moving to Dunedin and picking up a contract with the Steel in 2012.[5] She was selected into the NZ U21 team in 2010, and was named captain in 2012. During the series she was played in the unfamiliar position of WD at times.[6]
Purvis made her ANZ Championship debut in the first game of 2012, coming on in the last quarter against Silver Ferns stalwart Irene Van Dyk, and picking off a vital intercept which led to the Steel's shock win against the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.[7] A solid season saw Purvis nominated for the Best Young Player award. She was rewarded by being selected into the NZ Accelerant Squad in 2012.[8] A series of knee injuries hindered Purvis’ ability to play more international games and she retired from domestic and international netball in 2020. [9] During the 2022 ANZ Premiership season, Purvis was called upon by her previous team Northern Stars as a COVID-19 replacement. This marked her 100th match played.[10]
Purvis is a reporter/presenter on The Crowd Goes Wild.[11]
