Warrington Wolves Women have announced the signing of Warrington-born centre Katie-May Williams from St Helens.

The 27-year-old had been part of the Saints side since the inception of the Women’s Super League but now crosses the divide to represent her hometown club for 2022 onwards.

Williams will be part of the team competing for promotion to Super League 1 following the competition’s split into two divisions for next season.

Williams said: “I’m absolutely buzzing and I can’t wait to get started. It’s a new opportunity and challenge for myself.

“I’m from Warrington so it’s a massive achievement for me to play for and represent my hometown Club.

“We’ve got an exciting group of players here who are all pushing for promotion next year. “The Club is very ambitious with what it wants to achieve over the next few years and I’m excited to get stuck into pre-season now and to wear the primrose and blue next year.

“When I first started playing there was only a few teams and now there’s 12 teams in Super League with Girls sides underneath that. It’s great to see so many young girls playing and coming through and hopefully that can keep growing year on year.”
