Jacqui Newton is stepping up to captain LexisNexis Cardiff Dragons for the 2025 season.
The Australian hot-shot joined the South Wales team for the 2024 campaign and quickly made her mark.
The rangy defender helped Dragons to an eighth-place finish in her first season in the Netball Super League.
She was duly voted the club’s Most Valuable Player and it was no surprise she was retained for a second season in green.
Prior to jetting over to Wales, Newton played in the Suncorp Super Netball for Collingwood Magpies and the Melbourne Vixens.
She also highlights her role as captain of Victoria Fury as key among her netballing achievements.
For the 2025 campaign, Newton will skipper Dragons and said of taking on the role: “" I’m truly honoured to be named captain of this group.
“I’m already excited about building something special together, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish in NSL 2.0.
“I’m very thankful for the warm welcome from the Dragons team last year, and I hope that together we can achieve great success both on and off the court.”
