York Valkyrie have signed Izzy Brennan and Evie Sexton on two year deals, thanks to support from Squadbuilder!
Both players made their Women’s Super League debuts last year after time playing with the Under 19’s and they’ve been rewarded with their first contracts.
Brennan is a product of the RiSE programme at York, and after playing in the Under 19s she made her debut for the first team last season in May against Huddersfield Giants, aged 17.
With Lindsay Anfield missing a number of star players because of injury, Brennan took her opportunity to impress in the forwards at the higher level, and produced some outstanding performances against top opposition.
This led to a run in the team at the end of the season, and she was named in the starting 13 in the Grand Final win against St.Helens, where her kicking game was an important factor in the Valkyrie’s victory.
In all, she made eight appearances in 2024, scoring 4 tries and kicking nine goals.
Evie Sexton linked up with the Under 19s last season after impressing for Hull FC.
The centre or second-row forward made her Super League debut for York in July in the win over Barrow Raiders, in what was the first of three appearances.
Last season was her first at senior level, after progressing through the girls’ pathways at Hull FC.
She scored five tries in her open age debut for Hull FC, and five more in the League 1 Grand Final at the end of the year
That form and potential has earned her a deal with the Valkyrie for 2025.
