Pam was announced as a Surrey Storm player joining ahead of the 2015 Super League season. This could see the playing partnership with Tamsin Greenway return once again.
International career
[edit]Cookey was a surprise inclusion in the England national netball team as a seventeen-year-old, for the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, but was unable to participate due to a knee injury.[3] She was also named in the team the following year, but withdrew due to study commitments at the University of Bath.[4]
She made her senior debut with England in 2004 against Australia, and two years later won a bronze medal with the England team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.[1] She won a second Commonwealth Games bronze medal in 2010, and later that year won silver at the World Netball Series.
