Netball career[edit]

Stanton was a member of the Australian under 21 squad and was also in the team that came in second in the 2013 World Youth Netball Championship in Glasgow, Scotland. In 2018, she again played for the West Coast Fever in the Suncorp Super Netball league.[2] Stanton represented Australia at the 2017 Fast5 Netball World Series,[3] where they finished runners-up to England. In 2019 she was re-signed by the Fever to the end of the 2020 season.[4]

Personal life[edit]
