Donnell Wallam and Leesa Mi Mi will stay put on the Sunshine Coast after re-signing with the Lightning for the 2027 Super Netball season.
The First Nations stars have both penned one-year deals after the competition's signing window opened.
Wallam will run out for a second season with the Lightning next year after returning to Australia from Aoeteora's ANZ Premiership.
The 32-year-old starred up front this year, finishing with 600 goals for the season — the fourth most across the competition.
"This has been the perfect place for me to make my return to Super Netball," Wallam said.
"I've felt so supported as a player from all my teammates, the staff, and the entire Lightning community.
"I am super excited to have re-signed with the club and keen to get back into pre-season for a big 2027."
Wallam also clocked up 71 rebounds, and earned selection in the Australian Diamonds 2026-27 squad.
She capped the year as the Lightning's players' player winner at the club's end of season awards night, having also finished third in the best and fairest.
In pushing for a return to finals next year, Wallam will do so with a new partner in the shooting circle following the departure of teammate and national-side goaler Cara Koenen, which was announced on Monday.
Wallam inked her deal with the Lightning last week, during the period Super Netball clubs were able to re-sign existing players.
Super Netball's signing period broadened on Monday, and will close on Friday August 28.
It comes with an updated collective player agreement, increasing player salary cap and individual sponsorship opportunities, as well as ability to sign contracts through to 2031 under a one-year bridging agreement.
It comes as Mi Mi committed to a fourth season with the Lightning.
"I have loved my time so far with the Lightning; since moving here in 2024, the Sunshine Coast has become my home," Mi Mi said on Monday.
"I'm looking forward to continuing to develop as both a player and a playing group, to bring more success to the Coast.
"Having the opportunity to learn and grow in such an amazing place is a big reason why I'm excited to pull on the Lightning dress next season."

The midcourter moved north from Brisbane following a season as a training partner and five Super Netball games with the Queensland Firebirds in 2023.
Mi Mi, 26, quickly established herself on the court on the Sunshine Coast.
"Leesa has already shown us that she has amazing talent and we can't wait to see her continue to get better and better in 2027 and beyond," Lightning coach Belinda Reynolds said.
"We've already seen her develop so much over the last four years and we see her as a key part of our next successful group."
On Wallam's signing, Reynolds said: "She has quickly become a favourite with our players and fans and is so reliable for us week in, week out."
