Sale Sharks sign yet another Firwood Waterloo player in Katie Houghton

Premier 15s side Sale Sharks have announced more signings with a sixth from ousted club Firwood Waterloo.

Katie Houghton played for Waterloo last season but has moved to their northern neighbours after the club was exiled from the Premier 15s following a re-tendering process in April.

She said: “It is such an amazing opportunity to be part of this Sharks squad. With such an ambitious and passionate group the potential of the team is huge. I can’t wait to get started.”

She joins five of her Waterloo team-mates in moving to the Sharks.

Sharks also announced the signing of Vicky Irwin.

She said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining Sharks Women, play in the Premier 15s & represent the Sharks on a different level. 

"The club has a rich tradition,a vision with clear goals & style of play,with developments in the coming years to look forward to.”
