Debbie Fuller (née Matoe) is a New Zealand netball coach and former international netball player. Fuller was a defender in the New Zealand national netball team, the Silver Ferns, from 1993–96, during which time she competed at the 1995 Netball World Championships in Birmingham.[1] Fuller retired from the Silver Ferns after 1996, spending a year in Argentina. She returned for the 1997 provincial season, and the following year captained Canterbury in the inaugural National Bank Cup.[2] Fuller moved to the Capital Shakers in 1999, playing with the Wellington-based side until her retirement in 2002.[3]

After coaching stints in Wellington and the Bay of Plenty, Fuller accepted a position as a defensive coach with ANZ Championship side the Northern Mystics for the 2009 season, under new head coach Te Aroha Keenan.[4] She was promoted to assistant coach of the Auckland-based team the following year. Keenan departed the Mystics after the 2010 season, with Fuller being appointed Mystics head coach for 2011.[5]
