Celtic Dragons unveil new name - Cardiff Dragons

Celtic Dragons have today announced that they will now be known as the Cardiff Dragons after undergoing a brand name refresh.

Dragons have been in the Netball Super League since its inception in 2005 and enjoyed their best season in 2013 when they reached the Grand Final.

Their name change aligns with their new location at the House of Sport in Cardiff, moving in last season after previously being based at the Sport Wales Centre.

Vicki Sutton, CEO, Cardiff Dragons said: “This name change has been six months in the making and while Celtic Dragons has existed since the founding of the league and it has certainly served us well, there were several reasons behind the change.

“Cardiff is where we train, and where we compete, it’s our HQ and home. Cardiff is a growing hub of technology and innovation for which we want to be at the forefront of, and the city itself is a strong brand we want to use to enhance our own profile.

“We’re proud of our Celtic Dragons history, but it’s time for us to make some new stories as the Cardiff Dragons. We’ll be announcing our exciting 2024 season squad next week, and as part of the reveals we asked each member of the team what they love about Cardiff to showcase the affection we all have for the city we call home.”
