Fiji Pearls vice‑captain, Maria Lutua is settling into her new training group ahead of her debut for the English Superleague club Yorkshire Jets.

Lutua played a warm‑up match against regional rivals Manchester Thunder before the Superleague starts next month.

Lutua says the switch to the Jets is a great career move for her and a great opportunity to promote Fiji netball overseas.

She has 52 caps for the Pearls and played in the last two World Cups since making her international debut in 2009.

The 26 year‑old was last in the UK in 2010 when she was part of the Celtic Dragons training squad.
