Five of your Sale Sharks Women have been awarded Red Roses contracts for the 2026/27 season, with four named in the 40-strong training camp to kick start their WXV Global Series preparation.

Holly Aitchison, Amy Cokayne, Tatyana Heard, Zoe Stratford and Morwenna Talling have all received contracts for the upcoming campaign, with all barring Zoe linking up with the Red Roses this week for pre-season before their opening match of the series against Australia at the CorpAcq Stadium on Saturday 12 September – tickets available here.

They will spend the first three weeks of pre-season in Nottingham before returning to London ahead of the opener at the CorpAcq.
