We have now confirmed our full LexisNexis Risk Solutions Dragons squad for the 2027 Netball Super League season, as we look to build on our most successful campaign in more than a decade.
Following a fifth-place finish in the 2026 Netball Super League, our highest league position and points total since 2014, we head into the new season with real momentum and ambition for what comes next.
Several of our Dragons also represented their countries at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, bringing further international experience back into the squad ahead of the new campaign.
We have retained a strong core from our 2026 squad, with seven players returning alongside three exciting new additions who will add further quality, depth and versatility across the court.
