Suzy Drane Retires from International Netball

Suzy Drane, Wales’s most capped Netballer and Welsh Feather Number 168 has made the decision to retire from international Netball.

Suzy has had a leadership role for the majority of her time in the senior squad and is an inspiration for all whom she comes into contact with.
