The ultimate utility player in the Valkyrie squad, Hetherington is capable of covering in almost every position across the field, with past experience at wing, centre, loose forward, half-back and hooker.

Hetherington joined York from Castleford Tigers and has gone to establish herself as a vital part in the sides which won the 2023 Grand Final and a record two successive League Leaders’ Shields in 2022 and 2023.

The Pontefract-born talent delivered a Player-of-the-Match performance in last year’s Grand Final victory over Leeds Rhinos, the crowning display in a year which consisted of nine tries and six assists from 11 appearances.
