Chalmers is an original member of the Bendigo Spirit team and has been a part of the team's back-to-back championships. 

The 160cm Echuca native played 21 games for the Spirit last season, providing support behind Spirit star Kristi Harrower.

Chalmers said the team was aiming to win its third successive championship. 

“The last two years have been great, but we all know that doesn’t mean much when we take the court this season,” she said.

“I’m hoping to continue to bring energy and competitiveness to the group to help us do whatever it takes to win. 

“Having the chance to compete at the highest level in Australia has always been a great opportunity, and I’m excited to have the chance to go around with the Spirit again.” 

Bendigo head coach Bernie Harrower said her work ethic and attitude made her such an important part of the team. 

“Whether it’s at training or during the game, she brings an intensity and focus that everyone can feed off every time she steps on the court,” he said. 

“There is a reason she has been able to carve out a career with the Spirit and we’re happy to have her back with the group. 

“She may not always get the most minutes, but she takes advantage of her opportunities and makes the most of her time on the court.”
