Wilson moves to Canterbury

New Zealand sportsman Jeff Wilson and his Silver Fern netball partner, Adine Harper, are moving to Canterbury from Otago.

Wilson, 29, has bought land near Burnham to farm and will leave Dunedin, where he has lived for much of his representative sporting career, which began in Southland.

Wilson, one of a handful of sportsmen who have played for the All Blacks (1993-2001) and the New Zealand cricket team (1992-93), is expected to leave his house in Dunedin after the cricket season ends next week.
