Leading online netball retailer, Oldham-based Netball UK, has signed a new partnership with Netball Scotland, to be the national governing body’s official retail partner and deliver a boost for the sport’s brand across the country.

Netball UK was founded 23 years ago by netballers for netballers and will work with the national team, Scottish Thistles, and country’s only Super League team, Strathclyde Sirens, to deliver a range of exclusive merchandise alongside clothing partner Nike which will be available online and at matches.

Debbie Hallas, founder and managing director of Netball UK, said: “This is an exciting time for netball in Scotland with more focus on our sport, the national team preparing for this summer’s World Cup in South Africa, and Sirens being a strong and growing force in the Netball Super League, whose 2023 season is underway.

“Netball UK is proud to be a retailer whose team are all passionate about our sport, and we look forward to working with the Netball Scotland team to deliver more brand awareness for the sport, and more opportunities for fans to get involved with exclusive clothing and merchandise on offer.

“No one should underestimate the power of Scotland and the power of netball to bring people together, and we look forward to being a huge part of that in the future.”

Claire Nelson, chief executive of Netball Scotland, said: “We are delighted to be working with leading netball retailer Netball UK to bring our exclusive range of Strathclyde Sirens and Scottish Thistles Nike replica kit and merchandise, along with a wide choice of quality clothing and equipment, direct to our fans and members.

“Together we can offer a greater variety of products with first class service to ensure that our Netball Family have exactly what they need to enjoy our amazing sport, on and off the court.”

They also work with some of the biggest global clothing and footwear brands, including ASICS, Mizuno, Gilbert and Nike.
