With Christmas fast approaching some players have received their first present early with the exciting news that they will be added to the senior GB squads next year.
On 1 January 2018 two players will join on a full-time basis while four others will also train with their respective teams part-time starting in the New Year.
Scotland’s Sarah Robertson will become a full-time player once again - having completed her law degree - while England U21 internationals Holly Hunt and Holly Munro will join her in the senior women’s squad part-time.
Will Calnan has been selected as a full-time member of the senior men’s set-up while Chris Wyver – part of the GB team that won gold at the Azlan Shah Cup earlier this year – and Lee Morton will also train part-time.
