St Helens winger Leah Burke says she was driven to prove the doubters wrong after her dream of being part of last year’s historic first women’s Betfred Challenge Cup final to be played at Wembley was dashed by a career-threatening knee injury.
The 25-year-old Burke had bounced out of the 2021 World Cup in which she scored six tries in England’s four matches but had little chance of capitalising on her headline-grabbing form after rupturing her ACL last June.
