"These few months away from the sport have really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I've dedicated my life to," the statement continued.

"I realise that life is so short and I don't take any moments for granted, every day is a new blessing and adventure.

"I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I'm looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, 'That's my mum,' haha."
