Aryang comes into the team in place of midcourter Kelsey Browne who is being load managed this week.
Coach Dan Ryan said: “Kelsey has had a very heavy workload in the centre position for us in the first four rounds and with lots of flying and the very short turnaround this week, it’s important we manage her as best we can.
“She copped a few hard knocks in Sunday’s game and pulled up a bit sore so the extra recovery will do her the world of good to ensure she’s fresh and ready to tackle the Thunderbirds and Vixens in the coming weeks.
“This is a great opportunity to back in the depth of our squad and use our 11th player and Ruth is absolutely ready to go. I know the whole Club is really excited to see her step out on the SSN court come Friday Night.
“Her form in our training environment and in our local GIG WA Netball League competition has been outstanding so she’s certainly earned this opportunity and I’m sure she’ll take it with two hands.”
