Parker returns to York Valkyrie!

York Valkyrie have re-signed Lisa Parker for 2026, thanks to support from Squad Builder!

The versatile player, who can play in the forwards but featured 11 times in the centres for York last year, was part of the Betfred Women’s Super League winning squad in 2024, and played in the Grand Final.

Initially joining York on dual registration from Sheffield Eagles, she signed for the Valkyrie in 2025.

She made 18 appearances last season, scoring one try in the 58-0 win over Barrow Raiders.

After spending time back at Sheffield Eagles in the off-season, Parker has returned to York for the upcoming year.

On rejoining the club, Parker said: “It’s such a talented and competitive group, I’m grateful to have been so welcomed back by all the girls and staff.

“I’m excited to be back in the grind, enjoying the game again and ready to see what we can achieve this year.”
