England Lacrosse Official Kit Supplier Kukri Sports has announced senior England women’s lacrosse player Liv Thomas as its first-ever lacrosse ambassador, strengthening the brand’s commitment to supporting athletes across multiple sports.
“Becoming Kukri’s first-ever lacrosse ambassador is an exciting opportunity. I not only want to represent the brand, but also help grow the game and increase awareness of lacrosse within the wider sports community.”
“I have worn Kukri kit for years, through school and England Lacrosse, so they have been with me in some of my biggest moments,” she said.
Thomas’ lacrosse journey began at age 11, but it was during her time at University of Exeter – one of Kukri’s university partners – that her development as an athlete accelerated.
“Playing at Exeter was huge for my development. The regular training, leadership experience as captain and my teammates all helped me grow as an athlete,” said Thomas.
By 2022, her hard work paid off when she made her senior England debut against Puerto Rico.
Having fought through an ACL tear and hamstring injuries over an 18-month period, she is now on the verge of returning to competitive action – and taking on an exciting new role with Kukri.
Now, after months of rehab and her sights set on a full return to action, Thomas is determined to bounce back even stronger.
“I hope to get back out there in a month or so. I’m making sure my body is 100% ready and not rushing back.
“The focus is on quality rehab so I can return at my best.”
Kukri Sports is delighted to welcome Liv Thomas to its growing list of ambassadors and looks forward to working with her to promote and grow the game of lacrosse.
