Renae Ingles is an Aussie
Renae Ingles was born Renae Hallinan on the 18th of July 1986. Much about her birth family is not known, unlike her husband who we know is the son of Lynne and Tim Ingles.
For her education, Renae attended a Roman Catholic secondary school in Belgrave, Melbourne called Mater Christi College. She is also known to have once been a student at Carey Baptist Grammar School. She subsequently enrolled at La Trobe University where she completed her studies before launching her professional netball career.
Her Professional Netball Career Began in 2003
Renae Ingles began her professional netball career as a teenager in 2003. The then 17-year-old signed on to play for the Melbourne Phoenix in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy (National Net League). She made a total of 43 appearances for the side between 2003 and 2007 before moving to join another team. In 2008, the player was on the roster of the Melbourne Vixens who were playing in the ANZ Championships.
2009 was a very successful year for Renae as her team won their first ANZ Championship title and she played a key role in them being victorious. These performances did not go unnoticed by the national Australian team as she was immediately promoted to the senior side having previously played for the under-21s. To cap of the dominant year, she was further named Netball Australia’s Australian International Player of the Year in 2009.
Mrs. Ingles remained with the Vixens until she joined the Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2012. She spent five years with the team, making a total of 53 appearances, before announcing her retirement in 2017. Her time with the Thunderbirds was also a successful one as she won a number of team and individual awards, including Australian International Player of the Year in 2013.
Renae Ingles Briefly Came Out of Retirement
Midway through 2018, Renae decided to step out of retirement to continue her career. She returned to one of her former teams, the Melbourne Vixens, where she played for just over a year before opting to quit for good.
