Olivia Lewis (born 29 April 1999) is an Australian netball player in the Suncorp Super Netball league, playing for the West Coast Fever.
Lewis was born in Subiaco and raised in Wellard WA and was signed by the Fever ahead of the 2019 season.[1] The defender grew up playing netball for the Rockingham District Netball Association before moving to Coastal Sharks academy in Western Australia.
A prodigious junior talent saw her win national MVP awards at under 17 and 19 levels. Prior to being picked up by the Fever, she was MVP for the club's reserves team, the Western Sting in the Australian Netball League.[3]
She made her Suncorp super netball debut in round 1 of 2019 against Adelaide Thunderbirds, replacing the injured Courtney Bruce and subsequently was her replacement over the next 3 weeks until Bruce returned to fitness. A promising first season saw her take to the court 9 times and saw her receive the Fever coaches award, and culminated in her being selected in the 2019 Australian Development squad. In 2020 she was impressive enough in her 10 appearances to again be selected in the Australian Development squad for 2020/2021. In 2021 her 8 appearances were as an impact player with very little court time, however she was again selected in the 2021/22 Australian Development squad.
She signed with the Melbourne Vixens[4] for the 2022 season.
