Player Bio

Josie Huckle continues to play a key role at Manchester Thunder, though it was nearly never meant to be.

Huckle first joined Thunder as a training partner in 2023 following the demise of Wasps, before a space in the squad opened up. 

It was a chance that Huckle took with both hands, and her impressive displays ever since have seen her become a core part of the Thunder defence.

“It’s great getting a chance to be on court, especially for a team like Thunder,” she said. “It is great to have someone like Karen Greig back you to be that person on court."

Huckle’s move to Thunder required plenty of sacrifices, including some cancelled holidays and long commutes, but it has proved worth it as shehas found a new home in Manchester after seven years with Wasps.

Huckle made her Netball Super League debut in 2012 with Hertfordshire Mavericks, making her one of the most experienced players in the league.

Usually deployed at goal keeper, Huckle was named as vice-captain for Thunder ahead of the 2025 season.

Her performances have also earned international honours in 2017, when Huckle played twice for the Vitality Roses.

Huckle is never far away from netball, working as Head of PE at a school when not playing for Thunder.
