Harlequins Women has announced that Hooker and RAF Officer Amy Cokayne will join the Club from the 2019/20 season
The front-rower, who has 45 England caps to her name has established herself as a powerful tight five operator and a prolific try-scorer at domestic and international level, having scored five tries in the 2017 Women’s Six Nations – the second highest in the tournament that year.
She scored her maiden Test try against Canada in Edmonton in the Women’s Rugby Super Series in 2015 and went on to feature in each of England’s fixtures at the World Cup two years later.
Cokayne’s family moved to New Zealand in 2006 & during her time in the Southern Hemisphere, she captained her school side, Fielding High School, to 53 consecutive victories.
Cokayne took time away from the sport in 2018 to complete her RAF training but will return to club and international duty in the 2019/20 season as part of the England Rugby set-up.
