Wales co-captain Kate Williams has reaffirmed her commitment to Gloucester-Hartpury by signing a new contract with the Premiership Women's Rugby champions. The 25-year-old flanker has been a pivotal figure for the team since her arrival from Auckland-based Blues in 2023, securing two league titles in as many seasons.

Williams' impact on the field has been undeniable. Last season, she was honored as Gloucester-Hartpury's Players' Player of the Season and played a crucial role in the team's victory over Saracens in the PWR final, scoring the opening try. Her leadership and skill have also earned her 16 caps for Wales, and she was recently named co-captain of the national team.

In a heartfelt statement on the club's website, Williams expressed her gratitude and passion for the game: "I'm incredibly grateful to Gloucester-Hartpury for everything they've done for my career. The past few seasons have been a whirlwind, but I've loved every single minute of it. To be able to do what I love, alongside a group of girls who have truly become my family, is such a privilege - and honestly, you don't need much more motivation than that."

While the length of Williams' new contract remains undisclosed, her continued presence is expected to bolster Gloucester-Hartpury's quest for further glory in the Premiership Women's Rugby. Her journey is a testament to her dedication and the club's commitment to nurturing top-tier talent in women's rugby.
