Scrum-half Flo Robinson, wing Mia Venner, and lock forward Ives Campion have been awarded their first full-time contracts with the England women's rugby team ahead of the 2026-27 season. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) announced that 32 players will hold full-time contracts as part of the Red Roses squad, with an additional six players receiving transition contracts.

Among those granted transition contracts are emerging talents Hayley Jones, Haineala Lutui, Annabel Meta, and Demelza Short. These agreements are designed to provide support and development opportunities as the players progress toward full professional status.

Charlie Hayter, head of women’s performance at the RFU, emphasized the high level of competition within the squad, describing it as a key strength. The Red Roses are preparing to face Australia in a match scheduled for September 12 at Salford, marking an important fixture in their campaign.

This contract update reflects the continued investment in the England women’s rugby program as the team builds toward future international competitions.
