NSW Swifts have announced Sophie Craig will not be returning for the 2021 Suncorp Super Netball season.

The 27 year-old midcourter was part of the Swifts squad that won the Premiership title in 2019. 

She was a training partner but replaced New Zealand international Kayla Johnson for the 2020 season. 

The club said on Twitter: "As we build up to 2021 we are sad to announce that Sophie Craig (nee Halpin) will not return to the Swifts next season. 

“A proud NSW junior, she leaves us a Premiership winner and one of the most passionate players ever to don a Swifts dress. Always a Swift. Thanks Soph.”

A date for the start of the 2021 season is yet to be announced.
