Netball Super League sides reveal post-revamp squads

The Loughborough Lightning won the NSL title for a second year running in 2024

The eight teams competing in the revamped Netball Super League are revealing their squads on Wednesday before the 2025 season.

Teams are announcing player line-ups in one-hour windows throughout the day.

The NSL has been reduced from 10 teams to eight for the 2025 campaign with Team Bath, Strathclyde Sirens, Surrey Storm and Severn Stars dropping out.

Birmingham Panthers and Nottingham Forest Netball - the latter belonging to the Premier League football club's multi-sport model - have joined the league.

Loughborough Lightning will be looking to win a third consecutive title.

The restructuring is part of a 10-year plan to professionalise the league, with a number of key changes being implemented ahead of the season's start date in February 2025.

Squad lists have been reduced from 15 to 10 players, while 50% of games will be played in arenas. Average player salaries are set to increase by around 60%, according to the league.

With all players out of contract at the end of the 2024 season, teams are selecting squads from scratch.

2024 semi-finalists London Pulse were the first NSL team to announce their squad, which includes 15-year-old Gracie Smith.

Forest's squad, led by England legend Chelsea Pitman, features England international Jayda Pechova and ex-Bath defender Natasha Pavelin.

This season, fans can watch one match per round of the NSL on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
