"She brings all-round talents to the court whether that be scoring, rebounding or blocking shots.
"Importantly, off the court Chelsea is an outstanding person, just the type of player we are looking for to be a role model for young Territory girls invested in our sport.
"We can't wait for Chelsea to get to Darwin and take up a leadership role in our team in 2022."
