Speaking on her return, Januszewska said:
“I’m excited to be returning to Riders for another season! There are a lot of changes, but I think it will be exciting and I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates and working with Coach Nick, to see what we can build throughout the year!”
Head Coach Nick Moodey praised her progress and potential:
“I’m thrilled to have KJ return for the upcoming season, she was a big part of the team last season and provided massive contributions on court. She is constantly wanting to improve all aspects of her game and works incredibly hard everyday. She’s had a great summer away with the GB National Team and I’m looking forward to seeing KJ take another step forwards this season.”
Januszewska will continue to play for the Riders alongside studying with our partners at Loughborough University whilst competing for them in the BUCS competition. The club would like to once again thank Loughborough university for their continued support.
