Sophie Egbaran

Sophie Egbaran is an exciting young GS/GA who returns to London Mavericks after an impressive rise through the domestic and international pathway. Beginning her career in the Wasps pathway before representing Central Warriors U21s, Egbaran was named Player of the Season after averaging 10 goals per quarter across the 2023 Netball Performance League campaign. She made her Netball Super League debut with Mavericks in 2024 before gaining further experience with Leeds Rhinos and Birmingham Panthers.

Internationally, Egbaran helped England secure bronze at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games before progressing through the Roses Academy and into the Future Roses programme. She was also part of the senior England squad that claimed bronze at the 2024 FAST5 Netball World Series, highlighting her growing reputation as one of the country’s brightest young attacking talents.

After featuring for Birmingham Panthers’ NXT Gen side in 2026, Egbaran stepped into the NSL squad as a temporary replacement before returning to London Mavericks midway through the season to provide cover for the injured Emma Thacker. During her four appearances for Mavericks, she shot at an impressive 87% accuracy while sinking nine Super Shots, making an immediate impact in teal. Now back with the club for the 2027 campaign, Egbaran brings valuable NSL experience, exciting attacking flair and plenty of potential as she continues her development at the highest level.
