Sarah McKenna

ENGLAND RUGBY BACK

​

A product of Roundwood Park School and Grove Junior School, Sarah McKenna took up the game at the age of six at her local club Harpenden, where her dad coached at mini level.

 

A versatile player, who is comfortable operating at fly half, centre or full back, she plies her trade at Saracens, where she was a key part of the 2014/15 and 2018/19 title-winning sides.

 

Sarah’s England debut arrived in August 2011 when she came off the bench in a 15-11 victory over the United States and has featured in World Cup and Six Nations squads. She also started every game at full-back for England in the 2019 Women’s Six Nations as they secured a Grand Slam.

 

She featured for England at the Super Series in San Diego and was one of 28 players to be awarded a full-time contract for the 2019/20 season. Sarah played every minute of England’s autumn internationals and was selected for the 2020 Women’s Six Nations squad, crossing against Ireland and Wales. 

 

Growing up, Sarah played netball at county level and away from the pitch, she has a passion for squash and music.
