At aged 18, she made the decision to move to Wellington, New Zealand to pursue a netball career.[8][9][10][11]

Playing career

[edit]

Naenae Collegians United

[edit]

Burger began her New Zealand netball career with Naenae Collegians United in Lower Hutt. She played for NNCU in Hutt Valley club netball competitions. While playing for Central Pulse, Burger continued to coach and mentor at NNCU.[10][12][13][14][15][16][17]

[edit]

In 2016 and 2017, Burger played for Central Zone in the Beko Netball League. Her team mates included Tiana Metuarau and Kimiora Poi.[18][19] In 2016 she was a member of the Central Zone team that finished the season as runners up to Netball South.[18][20][21][22] She was subsequently named the 2016 Beko Netball League Player of the Year.[8][23][24] In 2017 she was a member of the Central Zone team that won the title. In the grand final they defeated Hellers Netball Mainland 43–41 and Burger was named player of the match.[19][25]

Central Pulse

[edit]

Between 2017 and 2020, Burger played for Central Pulse in the ANZ Premiership.[26][27][28][29] After impressing in the Beko Netball League, Burger was invited by Yvette McCausland-Durie to join the Pulse squad for 2017. However, her court time was limited in her first season with Katrina Grant being the first chose goal defender. She switched to wing defence for 2018 and went on to establish herself as a regular member of the team.[8][9] She was subsequently a member of the Pulse teams that won 2019 and 2020 titles. Along the way, between 2018 and 2019, Burger played in three successive grand finals for Pulse.[16][30][31][32]

Mainland Tactix

[edit]

In September 2020, Burger switched from Central Pulse to Mainland Tactix.[7][33][34][35] The move to Tactix gave her the opportunity to play at goal defence and to partner with her New Zealand team mate, Jane Watson.[36] She subsequently enjoyed a stand out season and was named the 2021 ANZ Premiership Player of the Year.[5][6][24][37] On 7 May 2023, she made her 100th senior league appearance in a Round 10 match against Northern Stars.[38]

New Zealand

[edit]

Burger made her senior debut for New Zealand on 15 September 2018 against England during the September 2018 Netball Quad Series.
