Gia Abernethy will return to Strathclyde Sirens for season 2021/22

Last season team Captain Gia Abernethy led her team to their best ever league performance and position.

This season she is back and ready to push forward to take on the Top 4.

Signing on for her 4th season, Abernethy says:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to re-sign with the Strathclyde Sirens again for season 2022. I can’t wait to see this team continue to grow and take on any challenge in front of us. We’re creating a culture where we won’t back down against anyone and playing another season in Sirens colours only fuels this excitement moving forward.”

Our ‘adopted Scot’ had a strong season picking up 2 POM awards in the wins against Wasps and Dragons. Gia recognises the importance our #Sirenstribe had in maintaining their momentum saying;

“The Sirens Tribe have been incredible, the buzz and support on social media is something we are definitely noticing and we love hearing from everybody. We can’t wait to play in front on them at the Emirates again.”

Characterising Abernethy as “the ultimate leader, relentlessly pushing herself and the team for success” Head Coach, Lesley MacDonald is:

“Delighted to have Gia back in for another Sirens season, Her passion, her mid court craft and her leadership are stand out qualities for the Sirens.

After a tremendous 2021 season, I am looking forward to working with Gia and pushing for consistent back to back seasons”
