LEEDS RHINOS NETBALL have expressed satisfaction at their summer recruitment after undergoing a huge turnover of players ahead of their fourth season in Super League.
Yorkshire’s sole franchise in the elite tier have not been to the play-offs since their maiden season under Dan Ryan in 2021 but finished the second half of last year strongly. Now entering their second year under director of netball Liana Leota – the former New Zealand international who was on the England coaching staff this summer as the Roses made a historic run to the World Cup final – they are looking to kick on. They will have to do so with a lot of new faces.
She’s got some real experience with Caroline O’Hanlon returning in midcourt and then some younger players who we want to give an opportunity to, the likes of Amy Braithwaite whose come through our pathway. “She’s in the actual Super League-contracted squad of 12 – that’s a real positive.” The high turnover owes a lot to the culture of Super League with England Netball capping player contracts at one year in length.
