Dan Ryan is the only male coach in the Netball Superleague at Manchester Thunder and he's been busy signing new players ahead of the 2016 season.

Malysha 'Mally' Kelly has become Manchester Thunder's latest signing.

Kelly comes to England as Thunder's second import player after recovering from a knee injury, which ruled her out of this summer's World Cup in Sydney. 

The experienced Jamaican defender played an integral role in the Sunshine Girls claiming bronze at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and captained the national side during their tour to England in 2014.

"Thunder struck me as a diverse group, which I found very interesting and I have always enjoyed my time in Manchester whenever I visited," Kelly said.

"About two years ago, my interest in playing in the UK league evolved. My entire netball career I have been studying, so this is the first time just I'm just focusing on netball. I'm very excited."
