The West Yorkshire Hawks are delighted to confirm that Marley Littler will return for the 2026/27 season, continuing with the women’s team for her second campaign in Neon and Navy.

Littler was a great addition to the Hawks’ inaugural NBL campaign last season, bringing energy, drive and determination to the squad. Throughout the year, she showed a willingness to step up when called upon and delivered several big moments that helped the team build a strong foundation in their first season.

Now, with that experience under her belt, Littler is ready to return to the Hawks Nest and help the team take another step forward.

Speaking about her return, Littler said, “I am really looking forward to my second year back at Hawks! I think we ended the season in a really good position to go into this year even stronger. I can’t wait to see what this season brings!”

Head Coach Marc Holmes is delighted to have Littler back and believes her positive influence is an important part of the team.

Holmes said, “Marley brings such positivity to the team. She is one of those vital types of players that just make everything work better. I am excited to work with her this season and see how she can have an even bigger impact this year.”

With pre-season preparations continuing, Littler is back alongside her teammates as the Hawks build towards their second NBL campaign. After laying the foundations last season, the women’s team will be looking to build on that progress when they return to competitive action in September.

More announcements will follow as the countdown to the new season continues.
