Amy Hardcastle has opened up on the reasons for switching St Helens for Leeds Rhinos after the biggest transfer in Women's Super League history was confirmed. The England international, one of the most prolific performers in the women's game, has linked up with the defending champions having tormented them for many a year.
The acquisition is a statement of intent from Lois Forsell's side, who broke Saints' dominance last year by winning the Grand Final. Hardcastle had been a key performer in the Saints side that won the treble in 2021 and leaves Saints having scored 51 tries in 28 appearances.
Now, Hardcastle is a Rhino. Commenting on her move, Hardcastle admitted the lure of being to her home in Halifax had played a key role in her decision to switch clubs.
