Career edit
She was a member of the Silver Ferns wider training squad since 2011, and played previously for the Southern Steel from 2008 to 2010, and prior to that, the Canterbury Flames in the National Bank Cup. She was widely expected to make the Silver Ferns after a solid season in 2012, but chronic knee problems kept her out of the side and left her needing surgery.
She will be moving to the Canterbury Tactix for the 2013 season of the ANZ Championship.[1] Naoupu and her sister represented Samoa at the 2015 Netball World Cup.[2]
