Strathclyde Sirens are thrilled to announce the return of one of the franchise’s original founding players and fans favourite, Claire Maxwell for the 2022 Vitality Netball Superleague.

Well known for her formidable performances in defence, Claire took on a coaching role last season before taking maternity leave to concentrate on the birth of her daughter. Claire, now back in the Strathclyde Sirens outfit is ready to return to the court and isn’t messing around with her intentions for the season ahead.

Current Captain of the Scottish Thistles, and with 57 Sirens caps to her name, Claire is looking forward to pushing towards an even better finish in 2022;

“I couldn’t be more excited to sign with Sirens for another season, the opportunities and belief they gave me last year is something I am truly grateful for and now it’s all down to unfinished business with this incredible squad. We’re after a top 4 spot and we’re going to work extremely hard to get it!”

Head Coach, Lesley MacDonald said: “I’m delighted to have brownie back after the birth of her baby daughter. Brownie is the ultimate athlete and has worked extremely hard in the pre season to be ready for the new season.

“She undoubtedly will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience back into the squad along with her leadership on and off the court. I also can’t wait to have the league’s best cheerleader following her super star mummy this season.”
