England international attacker Kadeen Corbin is returning to Team Bath Netball for the 2018 Vitality Superleague season.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a hugely successful spell there from 2009 to 2013, coming through the performance pathway to help Team Bath win a record fifth Superleague title in her final season.
Corbin also won the first of her 56 international caps during that period and went on to represent England at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. She narrowly missed out on selection for the 2015 Netball World Cup after knee surgery but is part of England's full-time programme working towards the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.
After spending the 2017 season in the professional ANZ Premiership with New Zealand's Silvermoon Tactix, Corbin is looking forward to linking up again with Head Coach Anna Stembridge and Director of Netball Jess Thirlby at Team Bath.
"It's great to be back home and I'm really looking forward to the new season, I cannot wait to get started," she said. "I've worked with Anna and Jess for both Team Bath and England, and the relationship I have them with is amazing. No matter where I have been playing, I have always been able to ask them for advice and feedback, and it has always been positive and constructive.
"When I was in New Zealand it was a different culture and a different way of playing but I knew I could contact Anna or Jess for advice and it was great to hear another voice from home.
"I can't wait to be back at the University of Bath. I studied Sports Performance there and loved the high-performance netball programme. You are immersed in the game 24-7 and have access to world-class coaching in the best facilities. Netball is a sport I love, so how could I not love being part of that environment?"
