Steph Reid returns to Sandringham for 2027

Australian Opals guard and 2026 NBL1 South First Team member Steph Reid has re-signed with the Sandringham Sabres for the 2027 NBL1 South season.

Reid enjoyed an outstanding first season with the Sabres in 2026, averaging 19.2 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game.

Reid joined Sandringham ahead of the 2026 season following a standout campaign with Diamond Valley, where she was named joint NBL1 South Women's Defensive Player of the Year in 2025.

Her decorated career includes international success with the Australian Opals, helping Australia secure gold at the 2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup in China, alongside a WNBL championship with the Townsville Fire in 2023 and an NBL1 North championship in 2022.

Reid is currently competing in the 2026/27 WNBL season with the Tasmania Jewels, having joined the league's newest club as its inaugural marquee signing. Through her opening two games, she is averaging 16.0 points, 6.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds per contest.

Reid will reunite with returning head coach Cheryl Chambers for the 2027 season, providing continuity and experience as the Sabres prepare for another NBL1 South campaign.

With championship experience and a proven ability to perform at the highest level, Reid's return gives Sandringham an established leader as the Sabres look to build on their 2026 campaign and make their mark in NBL1 South in 2027.
