Career

Poi began her professional netball career with the Mainland Tactix at the start of the 2018 season, having previously been a training partner with rival team the Central Pulse the previous year.[2] Poi's debut year was successful and saw her selected in the New Zealand development squad and Silver Ferns team for the 2018 Fast5 Netball World Series.[2] This came off the back of being a member of the national under-21 team which won the 2017 Netball World Youth Cup.[2] She made her debut for the New Zealand national netball team in the January 2019 Quad Series against England, though she missed out on selection for that year's World Cup.[1]

Shortly afterwards she was signed by Australian team Collingwood Magpies in the Suncorp Super Netball league, as a replacement player for the injured Madi Browne. Poi played for the second half of the 2019 season, making seven appearances for the Magpies and featuring at wing-attack.[3][4]
