New arrivals include ex-Hertfordshire Mavericks and England mid-court player Sophia Candappa, who was confirmed back in October, and 22-year-old WA/C Yasmin Parsons, who joins from Team Bath.
Surrey Storm NPL and England U21 stars Rhea Dixon (GA/GS) and Fran Williams (GD/GK) make the step up to the senior squad whilst continuing to feature for the Performance squad.
