Olivia Tchine has gone from strength to strength each season in the Netball Super League.
The goal shooter is now a lynchpin of the London Pulse attack, spearheading their efforts for a maiden Super League title in 2025.
With an accurate shot, graceful movement, and a large reach, Tchine poses a big threat to any defender and has proved her ability to match up against the world’s very best on the international stage.
The Londoner came of age during the 2024 international window, stepping up to lead the line for Jess Thirlby’s side in the absence of more experienced shooters.
She helped England to series victories in the Taini Jamison Trophy and Vitality Netball Nations Cup, as well as facing off against Jamaica in the Vitality Netball Horizon Series.
That asserted Tchine’s status as a senior shooter for the Vitality Roses, having risen up through the ranks. She represented England at Under-17 level 2017 Europe Netball Championships and did the same at Under-21 level.
A first senior cap came in October 2022 and Tchine was included in the Vitality Roses squad for the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town, winning a silver medal.
Tchine began her netball career playing at primary school and joined Sabina Netball Club as a youngster.
She then progressed through the London Pulse pathway and made her Super League debut for the club in 2019.
A larger than life personality on the court, Tchine is best friends with Pulse teammates Halimat Adio and Funmi Fadoju and admits to spending most of her free time with the defensive duo.
Off the court, Tchine studies at University of East London.
