The 27-year-old defender played a pivotal role as Stars notched up three wins during April, including beating then-league leaders Manchester Thunder 47-50 at Belle Vue in a dramatic affair to throw the race for the top four wide open again.

An excellent athlete and fantastic competitor on court, Cook was also instrumental as Stars ran out 45-40 winners against Strathclyde Sirens and secured a 46-51 victory away to Surrey Storm.

Cook’s reading of the game, ability to check the opponent’s shot and bring the ball through well make her a dominant defender and a formidable opponent for any attackers.

Her skilful displays helped her side climb the table, eventually securing sixth spot with seven regular season wins.

Severn Stars’ finish sealed a place at October’s British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championships – their third appearance in the competition.

You can buy tickets to see Cook and her teammates in action on Saturday 12^th October at the Copper Box Arena here.
