South African rising star Sanmarie Visser has signed for NIC Leeds Rhinos Netball and completes their 2026 squad.

Visser, 21 years old out of Upington, in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, made her SPAR Proteas debut this year when they took on Jamaica in a three-test series and then played in the Nations Cup.

Last season, she was recruited by Adelaide Thunderbirds as a temporary replacement player for Romelda Aiken-George, who was ruled out with a knee injury.

Visser is a product of Varsity Netball and was the 2023 Varsity Netball Player of the Tournament. Netball is not the only sport she excels in, having previously competed in discus throw and 800m in Athletics.
