About Amanda Burton (netballer)

  • Amanda Burton (born 23 March 1980) is an Australian netball player. She was a key forward for the Melbourne Kestrels from 2000 to 2004, playing in the positions of goal attack and goal shooter, and often working in tandem with international Cynna Kydd.
  • Though she formed an effective pairing with Neele and was a frequent member of both the national league side and state team for five years, Burton found that the low-paying sport was too much of a strain on her off-field career, and retired at the end of the 2004 season, at the age of only 24. Burton's untimely retirement was a motivating factor in the 2005 decision of most national league players to join the Australian Workers' Union in an attempt to improve player wages.
  • Having retired from elite netball, she now concentrates on her prior career as a pharmacy sales representative.
