Alex Johnson is set to embark on her debut Netball Super League season as a full member of the LexisNexis Cardiff Dragons squad.
Johnson previously suited up for Loughborough Lightning as they won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.
Having served as a training partner for Lightning for both of those seasons, Johnson is now making the step up to be part of Dragons’ 10 for the 2025 campaign.
Johnson, who serves as one of the vice chairs of the Netball Players Association, took her first steps into netball at her local club, Chester Netball Club, and went on to represent Oldham Netball Club in the Premier League.
She started netball when in year six at school, which was also the same year she appeared on Songs of Praise.
As well as her Super League experience, Johnson tasted international netball for the first time in 2024.
The defender, who studies history and politics at Loughborough University, made her Wales debut against Uganda in 2024.
Competing for Loughborough’s university team, Johnson has twice won the BUCS title and captained Lightning’s team to the Under 21 Netball Premier League title in 2023.
She will hope for more silverware in green with Dragons in 2025.
