Bristol Bears Women duo awarded England contracts

By Bristol24/7  Monday Sep 30, 2019

Bristol Bears Women duo Amber Reed and Sarah Bern have been named among the 28 players to receive a full-time Red Roses contract for the 2019/20 season.

Reed will form part of the squad having returned to the England fold against the Barbarians in June and won her 50th cap in this summer’s Super Series after missing the majority of last season through injury.

After being named the 2019 RPA England Women’s Player of the Year, the bulldozing Bern has rightfully earned herself another full-time contract which will run until August 2020.

The league keeps throwing up new talent.

Middleton added: “We’re really pleased with the squad of 28 and we’ll continue to adapt and call on other players at any given time. The whole league is a pool for us.We’re all looking forward to the season ahead.”
