New Warriors Assistant Coach Appointed
Shaunagh Craig has been confirmed as the new Assistant Coach for the Northern Ireland Warriors.
Shaunagh will take up this position over the next six months following her commitments with the U21 World Youth Cup squad, where she currently holds a technical coaching role. She will also remain in post as Head Coach of the U19 programme for the 2025–26 season.
Warriors Head Coach, Sheonah Forbes, shared her thoughts on the appointment:
“It is fantastic to have Shaunagh on board with us in the Warriors programme. With the experience and knowledge she has built over a number of years, I have no doubt she will make a great impact. With an important 18 months ahead for the Warriors, having different voices and perspectives in our coaching environment is vital to our success. I’m excited to see Shaunagh develop in this space.”
Sheonah also extended her gratitude to Debbie Bleakley:
“Thank you to Debbie, who has been brilliant in supporting my journey since I began this role. She will no doubt continue to thrive and lead in the coaching landscape across Netball NI.”
We look forward to seeing this next chapter unfold with passion, precision, and pride.
