The 24-year-old currently plays for Australian team New South Wales Swifts in Australia's elite Super Netball league.

  • Australia

We recently spoke to Helen's number one fan and mum, Gillian Housby.

England will play Scotland on Saturday closely followed by Samoa on Sunday to determine if they will move into the second stage of the competition.
