England’s most capped international Jade Clarke and the 2018 Commonwealth Games winner Chelsea Pitman have joined London Pulse for the 2023 Vitality Netball Superleague season.

The highly ambitious franchise enjoyed their best season in 2022 by reaching the Superleague play-offs for the first time and have added outstanding experience to their squad in the form of Clarke and Pitman.

The recent 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham was Jade Clarke’s fifth and she led Leeds Rhinos Netball by example in the Vitality Netball Superleague last season.

Pitman returns to England and to a full-time contract at the elite level after returning to court as a training partner with West Coast Fever last season in Suncorp Super Netball. The mid-courter is renowned for her speed and attacking flair.

London Pulse’s head coach Sam Bird will look to Clarke and Pitman to raise their standards further and guide the younger players in their group.
