A student from Winstanley College in Wigan has been selected for the Netball Super League team, Leeds Rhinos.

Daisy Dixon, a former Standish High School student, has been chosen for the team’s U19 NPL squad.

This squad trains twice a week in Leeds.

Leeds Rhinos Netball delivers training hubs, camps and workshops across their region.

Sarah Gough, netball coach at Winstanley College said: “To be selected for Leeds Rhinos is a huge achievement and testament to Daisy’s talent, and work ethic. 

“I know Daisy will go from strength to strength and has a very bright future in front of her.”
