Versatile shooter Betsy Creak is ready to become a key cog in the Birmingham Panthers machine.
Creak is one of six players to follow head coach Jo Trip from Severn Stars to Panthers ahead of the start of the 2025 season, and the Panthers vice-captain will hope those pre-formed connections will stand her in good stead.
Able to play at either goal shooter or goal attack, Creak has plenty of experience under her belt as she enters her fifth season in the Netball Super League.
The Oxford-born shooter made her debut for Team Bath in 2020 and spent four years at the Blue & Gold before making the short move to Stars for the 2024 season.
While in Bath, Creak twice finished in the play-offs. In 2021, she was part of the side that lost the Grand Final to Loughborough Lightning before winning bronze in 2022.
Creak made her international debut for Wales in 2019 and represented them at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Her ascent to the international stage may have seemed unlikely when she played for the University of Bristol’s fifth team in her first year of studying biology before she was quickly promoted to their first team in her second year.
That proved the catalyst for Creak to rise into the ranks of elite netball, with her performances for Wales in summer 2019 earning her a place at Team Bath for the following Super League season.
