MY RUGBY LEAGUE JOURNEY: I grew up playing a variety of sports with my main sport being gymnastics. However, as part of the many different sports I joined Ashton Bears U13s team. When I was 16, I had a break from sport and stopped gymnastics and got into the gym instead. When I was 19, I wanted a new challenge, so I decided to get into rugby. I joined Leigh Miners women’s community team and played my first women’s open age game in May 2022. The following season (2023) I trialled and made the squad for the first Leigh Leopards women’s team and then played for Leigh ever since.
FORMER CLUBS: Leigh Miners Rangers.
REP HONOURS: N/A
RUGBY LEAGUE HEROES: Maddi Levi or Jessica Sergis.
CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Getting promoted to Super League after an undefeated season in the Championship.
AMBITION: To keep developing and bettering my game throughout my playing career and see how far I can go!
