West Coast Fever are wrapping their arms around Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard after she suffered the loss of her unborn baby.
Fowler-Nembhard announced in December she was pregnant and would miss the 2025 Super Netball season.
But in tragic news on Friday, it was announced Fowler-Nembhard had suffered a pregnancy loss.
"It is with sadness and heartbreak that we inform the netball community that Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard and her family have suffered the loss of their 'Baby Fowler-Nembhard'," Fever general manager Sue Gaudion said in a statement.
"Everyone at West Coast Fever is utterly devastated for Jhaniele, Ashani and Drehannah. We are wrapping our arms around them during this incredibly difficult time.
"Our club will continue to support Jhaniele and her family through the days, weeks and months ahead as they navigate this heartbreaking situation."
The Fever signed Malawi International Mwai Kumwenda in December as a replacement for Fowler-Nembhard.
Fowler-Nembhard is arguably the world's best goalshooter, with the 35-year-old having a profound impact at the Fever over the past seven years.
The 198cm powerhouse won the league's MVP award five years in a row from 2018-2022, and has led the league in scoring for the past seven years.
Last season, her hot form continued with a competition-high 813 goals, including a record 76-goal haul against the NSW Swifts.
