A trio of talented Team Bath Netball Player Pathway athletes have been selected into the England Netball Roses Academy U19 long squad for the 2025-26 season.

Versatile attacking player Ané De Wet, the national U19 Player of the Season for the 2024-25 Netball Performance League (NPL) campaign, is joined by shooter Neve Marsden and centre Jess Hollingbery in the 26-strong squad.

All three impressed for Team Bath U19s last season and were recognised in the club’s end-of-season awards, with De Wet and Hollingbery sharing the Coaches’ Player of the Year accolade and Marsden receiving the Spirit of Bath honour.

It is a third successive year in the Academy for Marsden and De Wet returns for a second season.  

This is the first time that a Roses Academy long squad has been selected and the U19s will attend camps in November ahead of age-group trials, from which the final squad will be selected later in the year.
