Manchester Thunder’s Joyce Mvula has been voted the Fans' Player of the Season for 2019.
After over 5,500 votes the Grand Finalist and Malawian international shooter, just edged-out Loughborough Lightning's captain Nat Panagarry to top spot. Team Bath's Sophie Drakeford-Lewis then followed in third position.
Mvula is in her third season with the Black and Yellows and was instrumental in their Grand Final victory before having to leave the court with a knee injury.
Throughout the season, and in the season finale, her high shooting accuracy has combined with exceptional split-steps and excellent partnerships with Kathryn Turner and her mid-court attackers.
