Silver Ferns veteran Katrina Rore has announced she is pregnant with her first child after trying to conceive for some time.
The 137-test defender shared the news on social media on Saturday, following her absence from the Ferns' squad for the Taini Jamison series against England due to "medical reasons".
Rore, who captained the Central Pulse to a second consecutive ANZ Premiership title in August, revealed on Instagram that she and husband Joel had tried for some time to get pregnant. The couple were married in December 2018.
"When you try, try and try again, seek medical advice, tests done, try, try and try again...persistence pays off. Joel and I are super excited to be welcoming a new addition to our little whānau. Pēpē due 2021," Rore said on Instagram.
