Women's Super League champions Leeds Rhinos Women have landed a major coup, signing New Zealand international Georgia Hale for the 2023 season.
The 27-year-old is the partner of Rhinos' men's prop Sam Lisone who joined the club in the off-season from Gold Coast Titans. Hale is regarded as one of the best players in the world, and her signature has already boosted the profile of the Super League in the UK.
A loose forward with vast international experience, she made her Kiwi Ferns debut in 2015 and two years later picked up the New Zealand Player of the Year Award. Most recently, she was involved for the Ferns in last year's Rugby league World Cup, including the semi-final win against England and the defeat to Australia in the Final at Old Trafford.
