Grace Field has become an England regular in recent seasons since impressing on debut in Goroka, Papua New Guinea back in 2019.

Field was part of the Castleford Tigers side which lifted the League Leaders’ Shield in 2019 and progressed to both the Grand Final and Challenge Cup Final, losing both to Leeds Rhinos. The prop-forward would make the move to York City Knights in 2021 and would go on to win the League Leaders’ Shield again in 2022.

The York-based forward is known for her hard-hitting style of play which resulted in her missing the backend of the 2022 season returning from injury in time for the Rugby League World Cup.
