Emma Cosh
New to the fray this season Cosh is an unknown prospect for many opposition teams this season with her smooth movement in the goal circle. The 27-year-old has plenty of experience while it may not be at Suncorp Super Netball level. Playing alongside towering goal shooter Jhaniele Fowler, Cosh is relishing the experience and height […]
Natalie Metcalf
A speedy, versatile attacker, Nat Metcalf (nee Haythornthwaite) is a crucial name for both the England Roses and Manchester Thunder thanks to her constant pressing attack and ability to provide a handy option in any number of positions. Typically seen out in wing attack, Metcalf has impressive speed out of the gates to be a […]
Shadine Van der Merwe
The South African defender is as reliable as they come and helps provide defensive midcourt support for other international players in Shamera Sterling and Layla Guscoth. Clearly the strength of the side, Van der Merwe adds to that talent back there and while last year she was just a permanent replacement player, she showed more […]
Gabi Simpson
The relatively inexperienced defence end often look to their captain Gabi Simpson to pave the way for them. Her speed, athleticism and hands over pressure sets her well and truly apart from others. While her ability to take impressive intercepts at times of need is second to none. She can quite literally turn a game […]
Paige Hadley
Hadley has relished the extra space since moving out to centre with her dynamic movement and defensive pressure an asset for the Swifts right across the court. Her ability to thread the needle into Sam Wallace, Helen Housby and Sophie Garbin has been very important in the Swifts’ rise to the top. Hadley is not […]
Layla Guscoth
An impressive character both on and off the court, Guscoth is one of those defenders who can make something out of nothing before anyone even realises something has happened – her cleanliness out in goal defence is almost unheard of, finding plenty of ball and turning it over with ease. While much of it is […]
Kate Walsh
Well known on Australian soil for a number of years, Shimmin is a dynamic defender with an impressive deflecting ability thanks to her vertical jump and timing on the leap. A key player for the Adelaide Thunderbirds over a number of seasons, Shimmin is a new addition to the Roses who have snatched up the […]
Laura Clemesha
With Laura Geitz retiring, the goal keeper position may fall to Clemesha who has had plenty of experience at this level. Clemesha is renowned for her strong defence and ability to shut down players. She will have to take control in the defensive circle with the likes of young guns Jenner and Hinchliffe rotating through.
Kelsey Browne
Kelsey Browne is renowned for her dynamic footwork around the circle edge while her ability to pierce through the defence of her opposition is second to none. Suffering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury late in 2019 there is hope that the nippy midcourter will return to the court later in the season and […]
