Leeds swoop for former Woman of Steel

Leeds have signed former Woman of Steel Georgia Roche from Castleford.

The 21-year-old was the first ever winner of the award in 2018, a year in which she also made her England debut.

She now makes the move to Headingley ahead of the 2022 Women’s Super League season.

Roche said: “I am really excited to be joining the club.

“I’ve played with some of the girls when I was younger so it will be good to play with them again. I am hoping to take that step to the next level to this elite environment that we all talk about and the elite training and coaching.

“I would like to say a massive thank you to Castleford Tigers. The girls and the past coaching staff and the coaching staff this year and the girls that stuck with us. Without them I wouldn’t be the player I am today so just a big thank you and everything is appreciated.”
