FIJI Netball Association is mum over former national coach Melissa Walker’s appointment as the first Wales fulltime coach.

President Milika Munivai said the association “have no comments” on her new job.

Walker and FNA had been at loggerheads for some time during which she was sacked in May this year but brought back after an intervention from the Government.

A month after being reinstated, the national netball governing body stopped Walker from travelling to the Pacific Mini Games in Cook Islands due to her being pregnant.

Last month, the former Maori coach received another termination letter from Netball Fiji.

In reply, Walker filed a case against FNA over the non-payment of her salary and the breach of contract.

She was also subjected to a seven-day ultimatum to leave the country from the Immigration Department.

However, the department, after being informed about Walker’s case against FNA, gave her a temporary resident’s permit.

During the first hearing of the case on Tuesday, the FNA lawyer asked for more time. The matter will again be heard on December 18.
