The Tasmania Jewels have sent a warning shot to their WNBL rivals, signing Opal Steph Reid ahead of their entry into the competition next season.
After unveiling ex-Sydney Flames star Keely Froling and championship-winner Darcee Garbin, on their inaugural roster, the Jewels announced Reid as one of their marquee names on Monday.
The 29-year-old, who claimed the league's championship in 2023 with the Townsville Fire, has become an Opals mainstay, and was part of last year's Asian Cup gold medal squad.
