Australian · Sydney, Australia · Born 30 April 1987Australian goal attack and the first player in ANZ Championship history to win three domestic premierships with two different clubs.
Erin Bell was born on 30 April 1987 in Sydney, Australia. She began her professional career with the Sydney Swifts in 2005 in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy, before helping NSW Swifts win the inaugural ANZ Championship premiership in 2008. Unhappy with her court time in Sydney, Bell moved to Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2010, where she went on to win two further premierships (2010 and 2013), becoming the first player in ANZ Championship history to win three titles across two different clubs. She made her international debut for Australia at the 2011 World Netball Championships, and played a pivotal role in the 2011 Constellation Cup victory, coming off the bench to seal the deciding match at goal attack. Bell missed selection for the 2014 Commonwealth Games squad but fought her way back into the Australian Diamonds ahead of the 2015 World Cup, winning her second World Championship gold medal. She later played for Collingwood Magpies, forming a potent shooting partnership with Caitlin Thwaites, before retiring from professional netball at the end of the 2018 season after a 13-year domestic career.
