Jo Harten

"Having the opportunity work alongside the Roses in an off-court capacity is a very exciting prospect"

"My passion for the squad and it’s success remains the same as when I was a player. I’m looking forward to positively contributing in whatever way I can."

"Continuing to harness Jo’s experience of playing internationally over an extended period of time and of this Roses team and environment feels like not only the right thing for us to do but also helps to give us a competitive advantage heading into this World Cup"

"Her aptitude for wanting to help others perform at their best and her love for the Roses is clear for all to see and she will be a real asset for us through Cape Town"

"As a player, Jo has always managed to strike the balance of being both demanding and light-hearted. People want to listen when she speaks, such is her credibility in the global game and I have no doubt she will support the team selflessly.(Roses coach Jess Thirlby)"
