Lily-May Catling has committed to Wasps for 2021 and will be returning home after playing her netball in Australia
“I am so excited to be playing with Wasps in the 2021 VNSL season. ”
“To be able to come home and play the game I love in my home country is an opportunity I am very grateful for, but to be a part of a club with such a high standard of success, and with such a strong family culture, makes it all the more special”
It’s been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old to play in the VNSL. Thank you to @Wasps_Netball for the opportunity to play the sport I love in the country I love. I’m coming home 🇬🇧🐝 https://t.co/xevPDOuR29

Mel Mansfield had this to say about Lily’s playing career to date including time at the hugely successful WP Blades
“Another new player, adding strength to our defensive line-up. Lily-May is an English player who started her netball career at Weston Park Blades and was also part of the England Netball pathway, touring with the England u19 squad in 2013/14. ”
“Lily May has been playing her netball in Australia since the age of 18 and is currently a starting player for USC Thunder in the Hart Sapphire Series. We are delighted to be welcoming Lily-May back to the UK to play her netball this season. A young player, bringing a strong performance and playing background to our team, she brings experience, intensity and talent to our defensive unit.”
Welcome back to the UK and welcome to Wasps. Such experience to add to our defensive line up for 2021 and we are so glad you are one of us 🐝💛🖤#WaspsAlways https://t.co/EHdAd4dRJa
