Earlier this week, prolific Uganda She Cranes goaler Mary Nuba Cholhok signed a multi-year deal with the Super Netball side Queensland Firebirds.
Cholhok who has played at two World Cups (2019 and 2023) for Uganda has been featuring for English Netball Superleague side Loughborough Lightning for the past six seasons.
The 27-year-old who scored a league-high 975 goals in 2024 season, including 50 goals in the Lightning’s Grand Final win over Manchester Thunder couldn’t hide his excitement as she heads to Australia next year.
“I am so excited to be joining the Firebirds,” Cholhok said as quoted by the League website.
“It has always been my dream to play in the best league in the world.
“Every Saturday morning when I wake up I watch highlights of SSN and now it is surreal that I am going to be a part of the league.
“I am so grateful to the Firebirds for this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started and meet the Firebirds family.”
Nuba will be the second She Cranes star to play pro netball in Australia. Former She Cranes captain Proscovia Peace played for Sunshine Coast Lightning.
