Sasha Glasgow (born 19 July 1998) is an English-Australian netball player in the Suncorp Super Netball league, playing for the Melbourne Mavericks. She currently sits on the board of the Australian Netball Players’ Association.[2]

Glasgow began her professional netball career at the Adelaide Thunderbirds as a training partner in the 2017 season and had a breakthrough year after making her debut for the senior team.[3][4] Glasgow was named in the 2016-17 Australian Netball World Youth Cup squad that went on to play the Finals against New Zealand.[5] Glasgow had an interrupted season in 2018 and missed several matches, as she battled with injury and mental health issues.[6][7] She was re-signed by the Thunderbirds for the 2019 season.[4] In 2019, Glasgow had an excellent season before rupturing her left ACL in the penultimate round of the season.[citation needed]

She then rehabbed and made her return to the Thunderbirds in the 2020 season. After four years with the Adelaide Thunderbirds, the club announced Glasgow would be leaving Adelaide to become a free agent where she was then signed with the West Coast Fever for the 2021 season.[citation needed] In the 2023 season, Glasgow broke the record for most successful Super-Shots in one game when she converted fourteen of her attempts against Queensland Firebirds. She also recorded the highest-ever Nissan Net Points in history in the same game.[citation needed]

In 2023, she was selected for the England Roses, qualifying due to her parents having been born in England.[8]

In 2024, she moved to the new Melbourne Mavericks team, but suffered a lower leg fracture in a preseason friendly against the Sunshine Coast Lightning that has sidelined her for the 2024 season.[citation needed]
