Team Bath's England internationals return to Superleague action this weekend to start the season.

Sara Bayman, Jo Binns, Pamela Cookey, Sasha Corbin, Rachel Dunn, Tamsin Greenway and Geva Mentor return from a tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Team Bath will begin the season playing Celtic Dragons on Friday night and Northern Thunder on Saturday afternoon.

Head coach Jess Garland said the team is not underestimating either of their opponents.

"We've got super depth of quality this year, but that will up the competitiveness within the squad," Garland told the club's website.

"We're hoping we can bring some new things to our game this year and we're aiming to be the strongest team consistently across all four quarters".

Superleague is made up of the top eight netball teams across England competing for the title.

Team Bath finished third last season in the Superleague table with the Celtic Dragons and Northern Thunder finishing seventh and eighth respectively.
