Biography

Born in Gloucester, Paige Reed first played netball at local club Hucclecote Netball Club. The club, who won Premier League 2 in 2023-24, provided Paige with strong foundations on which she has built a blossoming domestic and international netball career.

Paige rose through the ranks of the England youth setup and has represented her country at U19 and U21 level. In 2017, she was a travelling reserve in the England U21 squad for the Netball World Youth Cup in Botswana. 

Paige was a regular starter for Severn Stars during the 2022 Netball Super League (NSL) season. She switched to the Midlands-based franchise in 2019 after starting her career with Team Bath. It was during this season that the shooter was selected in the Future Roses programme, returning to the setup after previously being involved during the 2018-19 season. 

In October 2022, Paige received her first senior call-up, being named in the England squad to face Uganda in the Vitality Netball International Series. Whilst she didn’t take to court in this series, she went on to represent England in the FAST5 Netball World Series held in New Zealand in 2022, finishing in fourth place. Additionally, she played for the victorious England A team in a curtain-raiser match against the Scottish Thistles at the Jamaica Series in January 2023. 

The following year, in October 2023 Paige travelled to New Zealand for another FAST5 Netball World Series. Named as vice-captain for the series, she helped lead her team to a third-place finish and was named the Player of the Series thanks to her impressive long-range shooting success throughout. She describes this as her proudest moment in her netball career so far. 

After a year at Leeds Rhinos in the 2023 NSL season, Paige moved to four-time NSL champions Manchester Thunder in 2024 where she describes learning a new winning mentality. 

Winning is their norm and their minimum expectation. It speaks for itself and I am now part of that mentality… Now I couldn’t imagine not going into every game expecting to win.

Hoping to bring this winning mentality into her international performances, Paige has been elevated to the Vitality Roses programme for the 2024-25 season after two consecutive years in the Future Roses programme.
