Jacqui Delaney

Jacqui Delaney is an Australian netball player and coach.

A veteran international goal attack and wing attack and two-time Commonwealth Bank Trophy MVP, she represented the Australian national netball team between 1997 and 2002, retiring after winning the gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[1] Having shifted from her native Adelaide to Sydney due to her husband, former footballer Roger Delaney, receiving a work posting there, she tested Netball Australia's residential requirement rules when requested to continue playing for the Adelaide Thunderbirds, rather than switch to a Sydney team.[2] Her appeal was successful and she played for a further season in the national league before retiring to take up a coaching role with the University of Sydney team in the New South Wales state league.[3]
