Amy Flanaghan will once again be part of Wasps and is awarded with Vice-Captain.
With Sophia Candappa recently announced as Captain for the new season – it has been announced that Amy will be Vice-Captain for the Coventry based side in 2021
“I am incredibly excited about the return of Superleague Netball, especially with the opportunity to play my 5th season in a Wasps dress! I am sure I wasn’t the only one disappointed by the abrupt end to the 2020 season and I am so grateful we are able to begin training as a squad again.”
“It is always an honour to be offered a place with a Superleague team, and I was thrilled that Mel considered me an important part of the group heading forward. We have a great mix of youth and experience in our squad this season and I’m excited for the opportunity to play alongside such talented athletes! ”
“I have always felt incredibly welcomed by our supporters and the wider Wasps community, and this was another huge pull for me returning. I love the challenge each new season presents, and I can’t wait to get started!”
Tactical brilliance, athletic and formidable mid-courter, Amy is back for season 5 as VC and ready for the challenges of 2021 🐝 #WaspsAlways https://t.co/lvuas1jwCc

Mel Mansfield had little doubt on Amy’s abilities
“Fondly known as “Super Amy” in our squad, Amy is a player that every coach would want in their team. ”
“Her effortless attacking and dynamic defence makes her a fierce mid-courter, literally flying for the ball, making critical turnovers. She causes trouble for the opposition and is an important asset to our team. Season number 5 for Wasps sees her in an important leadership role as vice-captain.”
