She later joined Saints for 2023 and helped them win the Challenge Cup final against Leeds at Wembley.

"I am really excited and glad to be back in Yorkshire," she told the club's official website., external

"I had a good season with St Helens and I'm now looking to bring some of my experience to Leeds.

"One of the things that influenced my decision to join Leeds was to have more of a life balance, I work in Bradford so it's a closer commute to Leeds and it will be good to be back in my home county representing the Rhinos."
