rdf:langString Romelda Aiken-George (néé Aiken) (born 19 November 1988) is a Jamaican netball player. Aiken debuted for the Jamaica national team in 2005 as a replacement for regular shooter Elaine Davis. The 1.96 metres (6 ft 5 in) shooter rose to international prominence during the 2007 Netball World Championships. In 2008, Aiken signed with the Queensland Firebirds to play in the ANZ Championship in Australia and New Zealand. Former Australian captain Liz Ellis has predicted that "if she [Aiken] can keep this up for a long time she will undoubtedly be one of the best [players] ever." In 2014, she became the first player to score 3500 goals in the ANZ Championship. She has won the MVP award twice, in 2008 & 2009. She also played a major role in leading the Queensland Firebirds to three premierships across her career to date. The unique 2020 Suncorp Super Netball season was notable for Aiken, where she finished first in the league for offensive rebounds (110) and second for goals scored (583). She will enter her 14th season for the Queensland Firebirds this year. Off the court Aiken has completed a course in both hairdressing and IT, however, has favoured her passion for coaching in the recent years. In September 2021 after the conclusion of the 2021 Suncorp Super Netball season, Aiken-George married former professional basketballer Daniel George.
