The Melbourne Mavericks have confirmed the signing of star Diamonds midcourter Jamie-Lee Price, who joins the Victorian Super Netball club from the Giants.

The newest Super side locked in Price after she announced her plans to move from Sydney to Melbourne to be with her partner, Collingwood AFL player Harry Perryman.

The departure is a blow for the Giants, with former co-captain Price winning their past three player-of-the-year gongs.

The 29-year-old, known for her physicality, has been a regular in the Australian squad for the past eight years, part of the line-up that won the last World Cup in Cape Town in 2023.

“Jamie-Lee has played a significant role in the growth and success of the GIANTS since inception and we thank her for her contributions over the past nine seasons,” Giants boss Tim Underwood said.

“While we’re naturally disappointed to see her go, we understand and respect her decision to prioritise her personal life and wish her the best in this next chapter.”

Price said she already felt at home with the Mavericks, linking up with former Giant and now Melbourne skipper Amy Parmenter.

“I have been so warmly welcomed by the Mavs already,” Price said in a statement on Monday.

“The work this group has achieved in their first two years as a brand new club has been truly remarkable, and I feel super honoured to be able to become part of it.

“Hopefully we can continue to build and continue to become a force to be reckoned with in 2026 and beyond.”

Mavs general manager Shae Bolton-Brown said the club, which finished second last in their second season, were determined not to miss out on signing Price once they heard she was moving south.

“When we heard that Jamie-Lee was keen to move to Melbourne, we knew this was a signature we had to get,” Bolton-Brown said.

“Obviously she is a world-class talent, but with a relatively young squad we think her leadership on and off the court is a really valuable asset as well.’‘

Price is the sixth player the Mavs have confirmed on their 2026 roster, alongside ex-Lightning shooter Reilley Batcheldor, Kim Brown, Shimona Jok, Molly Jovic and Parmenter.

Goaler Sasha Glasgow, who returned after a horror leg break, is set for a fresh start, the club confirming she was on the move.
