Silver Ferns career
Rumball debuted for the national team, the Silver Ferns, in 1993. During her time with the Silver Ferns, she played in three Netball World Championships (1995, 1999, 2003) and two Commonwealth Games (1998, 2002). She was co-captain of the Silver Ferns with Bernice Mene from 1999 to 2001 and 2003 to 2004; she was also vice-captain in 1998, 2002 and 2005.[2]
Domestic netball
Rumball played for the Otago Rebels in the National Bank Cup in 1998, with the Rebels winning the title that season. The following year she changed to Southern Sting in 1999, under coach Robyn Broughton. With the Sting she also won Cup titles every year from 1999 to 2004, and 2nd place in 2005 and 2006. She also became Sting captain in 2003 after Bernice Mene retired from all levels of netball.
