Major players are changing teams in week two of Super Netball’s official signing period, after a bumper opening week.
Top young goal shooter Lucy Austin confirmed her move from the Thunderbirds to the Giants on Sunday night. Meanwhile, Sasha Glasgow’s exit from the Mavericks was announced and she is set to join another SSN team, while the future of Diamonds midcourter and former Giants captain Jamie-Lee Price is under close watch after her departure from the Sydney team for a move to Melbourne.
Sasha Glasgow has officially played her last game for the Melbourne Mavericks.
The England star, who endured one of the worst injuries sustained on a netball court, confirmed she knocked back a new deal to stay in Melbourne.
Glasgow is expected to announce her new Super Netball home shortly.
“A ray of sunshine is leaving Melbourne,” the Mavericks said in a statement.
“Whilst Sasha’s time at the Mavs started in a way no one saw coming, it ended with everyone in her orbit being unbelievably proud of her resilience and determination throughout.
“Sasha’s support for her teammates never wavered and her impact at the club remained tangible whether in rehab or back on the court.
“Whilst we were hoping to see her in the blue and pink, we wish Sash nothing but the best.”
Glasgow becomes the third player to exit the club, following on from international Eleanor Cardwell and defender Liv Lewis, while the club is still seeking a new coach after Tracey Neville’s departure last week.
