Diamonds trailblazer Donnell Wallam has been let go by the Queensland Firebirds after an emotional end to the season. The 30-year-old goalscoring sensation debuted for the Super Netball side in 2022 and made an instant impact, quickly earning an international debut with Australia. But her time with the Brisbane-based club has come to an end after the Firebirds, smarting after finishing seventh on the ladder, declined to offer her a new contract for 2025.
Wallam was brought to tears during a moving Welcome to Country before the Firebirds’ next match. The club again paid tribute to her impact off the court in its statement announcing her departure. “As well as her impact on the court, and together with a commitment from all of the Queensland Firebirds athletes, Wallam has played a key role in integrating First Nations culture and rituals into the everyday practices of the Firebirds club culture, which will endure,” the Firebirds wrote.
