Share Manchester Thunder have announced the first player in their Vitality Netball Superleague Squad for the 2018-19 season. Centre courter and former England international Laura Malcolm is rejoining from Severn Stars. The 27-year-old left Thunder to join Severn Stars in 2017 but now she’s back at the club she played for throughout her youth and later senior career. Laura, who spent seven years at the Black and Yellows before making the move to the Midlands, was part of Thunder’s 2014 VNSL title-winning squad. Malcolm said: “It’s a brilliant move for me back to Thunder. “I enjoyed my time at Severn Stars but it’s going to be exciting to get back to playing in front of Thunder fans who make the most noise. “Working with Karen Greig again was also a big draw for me. “She’s a top coach and a great motivator.” Debbie Hallas, Manchester Thunder managing director, added: “We’re really pleased to have Malcs back in the fold. “She’s an experienced player and will be a real asset to the squad to help us kick on from the third place we achieved in last year’s Vitality Netball Superleague.” Original article at https://www.manchesterthunder.co.uk/lauramalcolmreturns/ Related news post 25th Apr 2024 Where to Watch: Round 11 Reading: 5 mins Cardiff Dragons London Pulse Loughborough Lightning Manchester Thunder Saracens Mavericks Severn Stars Strathclyde Sirens Surrey Storm Team Bath Tags: Laura Malcolm Manchester Thunder VNSL2019 Previous Story UWS Sirens set to make Super Club debut Next Story Manchester Thunder re-sign Eleanor Cardwell from Severn Stars More News 23 hours ago News #SeeUsNow video series on netballers’ experiences and women’s health launches Reading: 3 mins 24 hours ago video Round 11 Highlights: Leeds Rhinos vs Loughborough Lightning 24 hours ago News Jill McIntosh revelling in head coach role at Cardiff Dragons Reading: 5 mins 28th Apr 2024 News Round 11: Lightning and Thunder keep good times rolling Reading: 4 mins 25th Apr 2024 News Where to Watch: Round 11 Reading: 5 mins More Google Ad – MPU – Right Column
