ABOUT: 

• Tegan Philip is a former Australian Netballer who represented both the Australian Diamonds and Melbourne Vixens over her 11-year 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.
• Tegan is a dynamic goaler, renowned for her long-range accuracy and drive into the circle. Making her debut in the former Trans-Tasman competition in 2010, Philip was catapulted into the starting seven after a season-ending injury to Sharelle McMahon in 2011. Since then, Philip has been one of the strongest, hardest GAs in the competition and has been rewarded with many accolades.
• In her debut season, Philip was named Melbourne Vixens’ Rookie of the Year, and was Grand Final MVP in the team’s premiership in 2014. In 2017, she was named as the GA in the inaugural Suncorp Super Netball Team of the Year.
• She has also represented Australia, claiming a gold medal in the 2014 Commonwealth Games – her debut tournament.
• Following an ACL injury in 2016, Philip was sidelined and missed the entire season, but came back stronger than ever in 2017, earning herself the Player of the Match on her return. After being out of the national side for two years, Tegan made her way back into the team, playing in the 2019 Constellation Cup. 
• Tegan started and finished her career with the Melbourne Vixens, retiring at the end of 2020 where the Melbourne Vixens won the Suncorp Super Netball premiership.
