Bryony Cleall

Bryony Cleall, together with her sister Poppy, received the honor of being chosen for Simon Middleton's squad in the highly anticipated 2023 TikTok Women's Six Nations tournament.

Hailing from Norwich, Bryony pursued her academic journey while maintaining her dedication to sports. She studied Geography and Sport and Exercise Science at Loughborough University, followed by earning a PGCE in Physical Education from Exeter University. Beyond her athletic pursuits, Bryony also took on the role of Director of Rugby at Harris City Academy Crystal Palace. In an impressive feat, she established the first girls' state school rugby academy, in collaboration with Saracens, where she had the opportunity to teach her fellow Red Rose teammate, Sadia Kabeya.

Having spent considerable time playing club rugby with Saracens, Bryony embarked on a new chapter at the onset of the 2021/22 season, joining the ranks of Wasps. Her journey with the England national team began in the 2019 Women's Six Nations, where she made her debut against Ireland as a replacement and even scored a try. Bryony's exceptional performance and commitment were rewarded with a professional contract for the 2019/20 season.

Bryony is currently playing for Harlequins in the 2022/23 Premiership.
