West Coast Fever has secured a major coup for its future, welcoming back premiership hero Sasha Glasgow on a significant three-year contract. The star goal attack, a pivotal figure in the club's 2022 grand final victory, will return to the purple dress from the commencement of the 2026 Super Netball season.
A Triumphant Return to Perth
The deal marks a homecoming for the 25-year-old sharpshooter, who departed the Fever after their championship win to join the Adelaide Thunderbirds for the past two seasons. Her return is a massive boost for the club's long-term attacking stocks and provides a familiar face to lead the scoring circle alongside the likes of young gun Olivia Wilkinson.
Glasgow's connection to the Fever and Perth runs deep. She was originally drafted by the club in 2019 and played 40 national league games for them, culminating in that unforgettable 2022 premiership. Her new contract will keep her in Western Australia until at least the end of the 2028 season, signalling a long-term commitment from both player and club.
Fever Culture Fosters Excellence, Says Glasgow
In explaining her decision to return, Glasgow was effusive in her praise for the environment cultivated at the Fever. She stated that the club's unique culture and high-performance standards were key factors in her choice.
"The Fever environment is one that I know makes me a better player," Glasgow said. "The standards are incredibly high, and everyone is driven to succeed collectively. I loved my time in Adelaide and am grateful for the experience, but the opportunity to return to a club that feels like home, with the program they have built, was something I couldn't pass up."
Fever head coach Dan Ryan expressed his delight at securing Glasgow's signature for the club's future. He highlighted not only her on-court prowess but also her understanding of the team's ethos.
"Sasha is a proven big-game player with ice in her veins," Ryan said. "She knows what it takes to win here, and she embodies the relentless spirit we value. Her shooting accuracy, game sense, and experience will be invaluable as we continue to build a squad capable of sustained success."
Building for a New Era of Success
The signing is a clear statement of intent from the Fever as they plan for life beyond some of their current veteran stars. Glasgow's return provides stability and elite-level skill in the goal attack position, offering a perfect blend of experience and familiarity with the club's systems.
Fever fans will have to wait until 2026 to see Glasgow back in action, but the announcement provides exciting certainty for the team's future attacking structure. Her journey from Fever draftee to premiership winner, and now returning hero, adds another compelling chapter to the club's history as they aim to reclaim the Super Netball crown.
