Lois Pearson

Bio

Born and raised in Manchester, Lois Pearson has been part of Manchester Thunder’s pathway since 2012. She has made her way through each age group whilst playing for her local club YWCA Bury. 

She made her Netball Super League (NSL) debut in 2021 and was part of the Thunder side that went undefeated on their way to the 2022 title.

Pearson helped Karen Greig’s side to a top-four finish in 2023 then powered the Thunder attack to reach the Grand Final in 2024, where they finished runners-up.

Her individual performances were recognised as she was voted 2024 Players’ Player of the Season and was included at goal attack in the All Star VII.

Pearson’s domestic form translated into a first senior call-up for the Vitality Roses in August 2024 ahead of the Australia Test Series and Taini Jamison Trophy against New Zealand.

Her senior international debut was the culmination of a number of years in the Roses pathway, with Pearson having represented England at the 2022 FAST5 Netball World Series.

She was then included in the Future Roses programme before being elevated to the Vitality Roses programme for 2024-25.

Away from the court, Pearson holds a degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Economics from the University of Manchester.
