Leeds Rhinos have welcomed England Netball’s plans to launch a revamped Super League in 2025 as a first step towards professionalising the domestic game in the UK - but will not be rushed into applying for it.
Yorkshire’s premier team and sole representatives in the elite tier intend to apply to be part of what the sport’s governing body is calling Netball 2.0 but want more details first before doing so. Earlier this week, England Netball announced its plan to professionalise the sport in this country.
“The league is going to distribute that information in the coming weeks as part of the tender process. We’ll feed back to the board appropriately, and hopefully it will be a positive.” On the plans as a whole, Busfield added: “I think it’s what’s required for the sport to move forward, we’ve been championing it since we came to fruition four years ago.
