Singer and budding actor Harry Styles has announced that he wants to become a professional netball player.

Styles was at the premiere for the Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk in which he makes his acting debut.

When asked what he wants to try his hand at next, Styles announced he wanted to become a professional netball player. "It's a brain game. A tactical game," he said.

England Netball responded by cheekily offering Harry a trial, and England head coach Tracey Neville tweeted she would be willing to give him a shot.

England Netball chief executive Joanna Adams said: "There is a version of netball for every woman and girl and we're very happy to help Directioners get involved or get back to netball."
