Team Northumbria sharp shooter Chiara Semple has won her place in England’s Netball World Youth Cup squad following another outstanding season in the NSL.
The dual national Kiwi has the fourth best shooting percentage in the top flight with an 87.7% record.
And Semple impressed during last week’s England Under 21 training camp to secure her place on the flight to Africa this summer.
“I enjoyed stepping up a level with the England players last week and it was great to test myself again,” she said.
“It was a tough week coming into the Bath game on Monday but I was pleased with how it went and I’m excited to make the squad.”
Semple hit a buzzer beating goal against Bath as TN claimed the final quarter of their last home game of the season in front of another packed Sport Central crowd.
And all eyes will be on one of England’s fastest rising stars in the final three games of the NSL season before she focuses on a summer of international duty.
The England Under 21 squad leaves for a holding camp in Pretoria, South Africa at the start of July before heading on to Gaborone, Botswana for the Netball World Youth Cup which starts on July 8.
