After missing the 2024 season and becoming a mum, Peach will be raring to get back on the field in 2025.

Her maternity leave came on the back of a stellar season, which saw her promoted to Valkyrie captain, and pick up a sack load of accolades.

She was named 2024 Woman of Steel after two previous nominations as well as the Rugby League World magazine’s Betfred Women’s Super League Player of the Year award and the Julie Cronin Player of the Year at York RLFC’s End of Season Awards.

Peach also returned to the England side in 2024, making appearances in the two internationals against France and Wales, after a four-absence from the national side.

A strong leader, she’ll be a welcome addition back to the squad for Director of Rugby, Lindsay Anfield.
