British forward Lauren Thomas-Johnson has been added to the 2024-25 roster.

Thomas-Johnson will be a familiar face to Manchester fans with the forward having spent two spells in Sheffield at the Hatters and several seasons at Manchester Met Mystics.

“I’m incredibly excited to get back on the court, especially with such a talented and driven group of women,” reflected Lauren.

“Their passion for the game is contagious, and I’m looking forward to growing together as a team, pushing each other to new heights. It’s not just about basketball—it’s about building something special both on and off the court.”

The former Marquette University graduate also spent some seasons in Europe. Having been born in Stockport, re-signing for a pro franchise in Manchester is very much coming home.

Lauren will be in action for Manchester when they take on Nottingham Wildcats in the Trophy on Saturday 12 October.
