After stints in the back-row and at centre, Kershaw transformed her game by nailing down a spot on the wing for the Valkyrie in 2023, with her form rewarded with a Betfred Women’s Super League Young Player of the Year nomination that year.

Kershaw, who is the sister of Betfred Super League winger Lee Kershaw, joined York from Wakefield Trinity in 2021 and featured in the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final the following year.

She was part of the title winning squads of 2023 and 2024.

The Bradford-born star’s performances for York have seen her feature in England Knights squads since 2022.
