We are saddened to confirm that Helen Housby has been officially ruled out of the remainder of the Swifts' 2026 Suncorp Super Netball season and England’s Commonwealth Games campaign.
Housby is currently rehabbing a back injury and had hoped to return to play SSN ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, however, further scans have ruled that out.
The Swifts and England Netball will continue to support Housby through her recovery and return to court.
Housby said: “This isn’t the news I was hoping to share so close to another Commonwealth Games and I’m devastated to be ruled out in this manner.
"Representing Team England is an honour and holds some of my proudest and fondest memories. Despite the setback I’m more determined than ever to come back stronger and get back on court as soon as possible, especially with the World Cup in Sydney on the horizon.
“I’m lucky to be surrounded by an incredible support system and I’m very grateful for the love I’ve received from those closest to me, England Netball, the NSW Swifts and the Vitality Roses fans back home."
