The vastly-experienced goal-defence becomes the first Malawian to wear the famous Blue & Gold of Team Bath, after being named as their 12th registered player for the new season which starts on Saturday, 11 February 2023.
“It’s a great pleasure to be joining Team Bath and I am so honoured to have this opportunity. It’s a big challenge but one I’m excited for and I will do my very best to help bring positive results,” revealed Mtukule.
“I’ve never played for a club overseas before but it’s something I’ve been looking forward to for many years. I’m ready to learn new skills and test myself in a big league. I know why I am coming and what I want to do.
“I know Team Bath are a big club with a good history. I have played against Kadeen Corbin a lot with England over the years and I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the players.”
Team Bath Netball Head Coach Asha Francis said: “We are delighted to have Carol on board. We needed to find a goal-defence who would not only perform on court but also add value to the squad and help our younger players develop. Carol ticks all those boxes.
“She has so much international experience but is incredibly humble and in all of our conversations her focus has been on what she can do for the team.
“We’re all looking forward to welcoming her to Team Bath.”
