After a bumper day of announcements, the eight teams competing in the relaunched Netball Super League (NSL) in 2025 have now revealed their squad lists.

With all players out of contract at the end of the 2024 season ahead of a relaunch of the League in 2025, NSL Clubs have been able to build their squads from scratch, with key players making moves across the League resulting in a dramatic day as fans discovered how their favourite Clubs will line up next year.

We’ve wrapped up all the headlines here, and why not also listen to our special squad announcement episode of Courtside Podcast featuring interviews with all eight Head Coaches, or catch up on each club’s ins and outs on our transfer page.

News also broke today that Australian import Gabrielle Sinclair will be returning to the NSL with new team Birmingham Panthers after a year spent with the Melbourne Mavericks in Australia’s Suncorp Super Netball (SSN) league. Sinclair played for the LexisNexis Cardiff Dragons in the 2023 NSL seasons, earning herself numerous fans thanks to her slick shooting skills and dynamic attacking movements. Birmingham Panthers fans will look forward to watching her develop a partnership with South African shooter Sigi Burger in the new Club’s shooting circle as she returns to the League next year.

Meanwhile, there are some exciting changes at the newly rebranded London Mavericks, with Future Rose Isabella Phillips making the move across the capital after a breakthrough season at London Pulse in 2024. With a new Australian influence in the form of Emily Andrew and Chelsea Blackman and the addition of talented mid-courter Amelia Hall from Leeds Rhinos boosting a notoriously successful defensive end, it is clear that London Mavericks mean business in 2025.

And finally, Manchester Thunder revealed a strong squad, making some key changes following a successful NSL 2024 season in which they narrowly missed out on lifting the trophy. Thunder have retained a number of the stars who carried them all the way to the Grand Final in 2024, including Vitality Roses Nat Metcalf, Lois Pearson, Amy Carter and Paige Reed. They have also added the defensive power of Nicola Smith, who makes the move to the North West based side after winning the League title with Loughborough Lightning last year.
