Funmi Fadoju has soared to stardom ahead of her Commonwealth Games debut. 

Fadoju heads to Glasgow 2026 as one of the most exciting defensive talents in the sport - something she will look to show on court in Scotland. 

The Games will represent another step in her inexorable rise, that began with a Netball Super League debut for London Pulse in 2020.

She immediately made a name for herself as she was named NSL Young Player of the Year in 2021 and 2022.

One-half of a dynamic defensive duo with fellow Team England enforcer Halimat Adio for Pulse, Fadoju was recognised in the 2024 All Star VII and as player of the match in Pulse’s 2025 Grand Final triumph.

Her superb performances early in her Pulse career led to a senior England debut in 2022, a year before she took to the court at the 2023 Netball World Cup as England reached the final.

Defending champions England finished fourth overall at Birmingham 2022 after falling to Australia in the semi-final and then New Zealand in the bronze medal match.
