Jamaican netballers hoping to ply their trade in England will have two less teams to shop their services to as of next season.
There’s news that eight clubs have been confirmed for the Netball Super League's (NSL) relaunch from 2025 as the sport takes a significant step towards professionalization in the UK. Squad sizes will also be reduced from 12 registered players to 10.
The new era of netball will see 50 per cent of games played in major arenas across the country to draw bigger crowds and enhanced match-day experiences for fans.
The average salary will increase by at least 60 per cent, with the minimum salary payment more than doubling.
Currently, only one Sunshine Girl, Rhea Dixon, who was born in England, plays in England's Netball Super League with the Loughborough Lightning.
