Netball Career
Tegan's career began in the seaside town of Anglesea (Victoria) for the Bellarine Netball Association when she started playing 'Netta' coached by her mum. It was clear very early on that she was destined for big things dominating in all positions she played and being chosen in most representative teams for the area. More recently Tegan has been a part of the successful Commonwealth Games squad who brought home the gold medal from Glasgow 2014.[4][5][6][7]
Personal life
