Thorns 2026 Squad selected 🤩🙌🏽
Stepping into the men’s space over the past six months has been a real whirlwind. However, witnessing the standard at trials, and now seeing these 18 players selected, reinforces just how exciting this group is.
It’s a squad that brings together new, elevated and experienced talent. Let’s go lads 🏴💪🏽
It’s official 🏴
I’m honoured to be announced as the Head Coach of the England Thorns. A new challenge, but one I’m diving into head first (as usual 😂😅). Excited to get started and continue building the performance program to achieve some pretty lofty goals 👀 with this very exciting group!
It’s official 💜💕
I am so happy to be back at Loughborough Lightning!
It feels very special to return to the place that started my journey, and even more so now sharing the same last name as the man I met here all those years ago. Full circle moment!
Here’s to the next chapter back in purple! ⚡️💜
Lightning legacy continues ⚡️
We’re delighted to announce that Jo Noel (nee Trip) returns to Loughborough Lightning as our NSL Assistant Coach.
A former Lightning player (#70), Jo brings a winning mentality, passion for player development and team culture that has defined her netball career so far.
Welcome home, Jo 💜

They are absolute weapons 🧨
They are here to play! 🐾
Season 2025 incoming 💥
Heartbroken. Truly grateful to @severnstars for taking a gamble on this very fresh-faced coach. I have had the BEST two years in a franchise that has embraced me completely. Our job isn't done and it means more than ever to play our remaining games under the Severn Stars brand - we will continue to create history and leave a lasting legacy with the franchise that is a family 🧡💙

To say I am proud of this group is an understatement. The work they have all put in over the past 4 months has been immense and it is finally time for us to put that hard work out on court. These young women’s characters, their determination, and their commitment to this team inspires me every day! I am so privileged to work with such a fantastic group. A special mention to our fantastic training associates, Clara, Ruby, Tori, Ellen, Caris, and Meg ✨. We’re ready - bring on NSL 2024 💙🧡🌟
