Early life, family and education

Cox was born in Whangārei in New Zealand's Northland Region. She is the daughter of Frances and Neville Cox. Both of her parents are originally from New Zealand. They met in Hamilton, before moving to Northland where they lived for seven years. Frances was a teacher at a school in Whau Valley and Neville was a manager at the Arthur Yates seed company. Cox was born in Whangarei Hospital on 24 May 1976. When she was three months old, her family moved from their Mount Parihaka home to South Island. The family then moved to Australia when she was six. [2] [3] [4] Cox was raised in Sydney. [5] She attended Mount St Benedict College [6] and Oakhill College. She graduated from the latter in 1994. [7] [8] [9] Cox started playing netball at age 11, with the Hills District Netball Association. [7] [10] [11] Cox is the mother of a daughter, Harper (born February 2016). [12]

Mobil Superleague

Between 1997 and 1999 and again between 2002 and 2007, Cox made 135 appearances for Sydney Swifts in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy league. She was a member of Swifts teams that won premierships in 2004, 2006 and 2007. Between 2004 and 2006, she also helped Swifts win three minor premierships. Between 2004 and 2007, she played in five successive grand finals for Swifts. Her team mates at Sydney Swifts included Liz Ellis, Megan Anderson and Susan Pratley. She formed a notable partnership with Pratley that also saw them play together for New South Wales Swifts and Australia. [14] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] Between 2003 and 2007 she was named in five successive Margaret Pewtress Teams of the Year. [26] [27] [28] [29] [30]

[38] In 2010 Cox made her 200th combined Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship game in Round 13 against Melbourne Vixens. [7] [39]

Cox's playing career with Swifts ended in controversial circumstances. Following an "internal review", Julie Fitzgerald was replaced as Swifts head coach by Lisa Beehag. The review was conducted during the 2011 season. Cox publicly criticized Netball New South Wales for distracting players with the review and even alleged that it was responsible for Swifts losing the 2011 minor semi-final. [40] Beehag subsequently informed Cox that she would not be needed as either as captain or player the following season and Cox then departed for West Coast Fever. [41] [42] [43] [44] [45]

[5] After being left out of the 1998 Commonwealth Games squad, Cox considered switching to play for New Zealand after she was approached by Netball New Zealand. [2] [3] [7] However she subsequently re-established herself in the Australia team and was a prominent member of the Australia teams that won gold medals at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and the 2007 and 2011 World Netball Championships. Cox was vice-captain of the 2011 Australia team. She was also a member of the Australia teams that won silver medals at the 2003 World Netball Championships and the 2006 and 2010 Commonwealth Games. [5] [67] [68] In both 2004 and 2005, Cox was named Australian International Player of the Year. [26] [27]

Cox captained Australia on seven occasions. [5] [30] She first captained Australia in November 2004 when they lost 50–42 to New Zealand. She next captained Australia in October 2011 against England, after regular captain, Natalie von Bertouch, was injured. During the same match, Cox also scored her 2000th goal for Australia. [69] [70] [71] She subsequently captained Australia when they won the 2011 Constellation Cup. [72] [73] [74]

On 20 September 2012, during a 2012 Constellation Cup match against New Zealand, Cox made her 100th Test appearance for Australia. As a result she became only the fourth Australia netball international, after Vicki Wilson, Sharelle McMahon and Liz Ellis, to reach the century mark. [4] [75] [76] [77]
