Australian netball legend Liz Ellis has given her thoughts on Netball Australia CEO Kelly Ryan’s resignation yesterday.

The decision comes after a long pay dispute with the players’ union, a dispute Ellis labelled “pretty disgraceful”.

Ellis stated it will be a “tough road ahead for the sport” with Australian set to host the Netball World Cup in 2027.
