England international Jodie Gibson will re-sign with Severn Stars for a third season.
The experienced 25-year-old defender, who was part of the Commonwealth Games gold-medal winning England Roses team, becomes the team's first signing of the 2019 campaign.
Gibson said: "The coaching staff have been working tirelessly in the off season to recruit new players to the team, who will add strength in key areas of the court, so I am excited to see what this team can produce. I believe we can compete with the teams who regularly finish in the top four most years."
Anita Navin, Severn Stars' director of netball, said: "Jodie was our first ever signing and I have been impressed with her successes over the last two years.
"Jodie is proving to all that she also has the leadership skills to not only deliver a solid performance but support others. I have been impressed with her fitness and have no doubt she will be an asset to Severn Stars in 2019.
"I firmly believe she is a world-class defender and the up and coming internationals will cement her strengths and value to the England Roses."
