Williams signs new Gloucester-Hartpury contract

Kate Williams has won two Premiership Women's Rugby titles with Gloucester-Hartpury

Wales co-captain Kate Williams has signed a new contract with Premiership Women's Rugby champions Gloucester-Hartpury.

The 25-year-old flanker has won the league title in both of her seasons since joining the club from Auckland-based Blues in 2023.

Williams was named Gloucester-Hartpury's players' player of the season last term and scored the opening try as they beat Saracens in the PWR final in March.

She has 16 caps for Wales and was this week named co-captain of the national team.

"I'm incredibly grateful to Gloucester-Hartpury for everything they've done for my career. The past few seasons have been a whirlwind, but I've loved every single minute of it," she told the club's website.

"To be able to do what I love, alongside a group of girls who have truly become my family, is such a privilege - and honestly, you don't need much more motivation than that."

Gloucester-Hartpury did not state the length of Williams' contract.
