Club career

In domestic netball, Cookey has played with Team Bath in the Netball Superleague since the competition's inception in 2005, winning two titles in 2005–06 and 2008–09.[1] She also played in the Australasian ANZ Championship in 2009, signing with New Zealand franchise the Northern Mystics.[2]
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

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.

Personal life

Cookey was UK Soft Services (buildings facilities management) manager for the Airbus UK site in Filton, Bristol.[5]
