England international and Grand Final winner Sinead Peach has hailed York Valkyrie’s decision to offer professional contracts to its leading players as a breakthrough moment for women’s sport.
Leeds-born Peach joins Tara Jane Stanley and Liv Wood in signing two-year deals with Valkyrie, who she helped defeat Leeds Rhinos in the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final earlier this month. It is a groundbreaking move by York RLFC, who together with the Rhinos made the historic step of paying their female players for the 2023 season. That came on the back of both those cities hosting key games in the women’s Rugby League World Cup last autumn.
“To see where women's rugby league has progressed is unbelievable and I'm super excited to sign a contract alongside Tara and Liv. “What the club are doing here is immense and the backing that we receive from Clint and everyone else at the club is amazing. “Little kids looking up to us can see that this sport is progressing. When I was younger, we were often scrapping around for the team.
