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 video 17th Sep 2024 Manchester Thunder sit down with Sky Sports to reveal new squad Reading: 0 mins 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 23rd Oct 2024 News Introducing the NXT Gen League: Everything you need to know!
