The athletic and versatile defender can seamlessly switch between the two in-circle defensive positions as well as cover the wing defence role where her height, speed off the mark and awareness will be a valuable asset for the Magic.
Head coach Mary-Jane Araroa is thrilled to add Rore's talents to her now completed team for the 2022 season.
"Adding a defender with the skills and experience of Katrina is massive for our side. She is a proven game changer and we all look forward to what she will bring not only on the court, but also the knowledge she offers within our group."
Magic general manager Gary Dawson said it was an exciting roster for the upcoming season, with the team poised to make a huge shift.
"We are really pleased that Katrina has joined our Magic whānau and look forward to her playing a key part in our ongoing legacy. 2022 is shaping up to be an extremely exciting season for the Magic and we can't wait."
