Dynamic mid-courter Jess Shaw will make her Commonwealth Games debut at Glasgow 2026.

Shaw, who can play at centre and wing attack, has become a regular fixture for England since earning her senior debut against Australia in 2024, having initially travelled Down Under as an injury replacement. 

She seized the opportunity with both hands, following a stellar two seasons with Severn Stars that rejuvenated her career - after admitting that she had questioned her future in the sport. 

Shaw previously made her Netball Super League debut aged just 15 for Yorkshire Jets, before playing for Team Bath and Loughborough Lightning, returning to the latter for the 2026 season. 

Shaw was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 13 and has spoken openly about managing the condition while playing elite sport.
