Share Manchester Thunder have signed New Zealand star Liana Leota to complete their 10-strong 2019 Vitality Netball Superleague squad. The centre-courter will play for the Black and Yellows for a fourth season, after first joining the club in 2015. The former Silver Fern, 33, has been instrumental in helping Thunder qualify for the play-offs in every one of her seasons with the club. Her performances have earned her a place on the Vitality Netball Superleague All-Star VII team for the past two years. “I’m really excited about the season ahead,” Leota said. “I think we’ve got an awesome team. “Stay tuned for a big ticket announcement next week.” Manchester Thunder managing director Debbie Hallas said: “Liana was one of the first players we wanted to secure for next season, her play-making and breath-taking skills show she is one of the best wing attacks in the business. “Not only that, her experience and leadership skills make her a vital member of the team. “We are looking forward to seeing what she can do in her fourth season with us.” Tickets are now on sale for Super 10 – get your squad together and head to the season opener on Saturday 5th January 2019 at Arena Birmingham!
