Carly Waters

Carly Waters recently signed with Saracen's Women's in North London, and brings an exciting, tempo based skill set across the pond from her time playing in the states. She spent the last decade honing her skills here in the states, and has excelled through the ranks of Women's Rugby in the USA. Waters doesn't just do her job, she does it right and she raises the level of play around her. Both on and off the field, she continually coaches, mentors and most importantly backs her teammates.

First cap vs. the Kiwis. Locked In

After grinding through a tough season commuting through America's most notorious turnpike (The New Jersey Turnpike), she got the call from Rob Cain and Kate Daley. and was invited to participate in a USA Eagle camp. She seized her opportunity, grinded through some brutal fitness and was eventually was selected for her first cap (above, against the Black Ferns, in Soldier Field).... in sheer shock she responded ..."Are You Sure?" 😂

Waters Truly Is A Unicorn ...

After having the Women's Rugby World Cup in NZ pushed back an entire year, Carly has been chomping at the bit. It's hard to put your entire career / life / plans on hold for 12 months, but she's going to get an amazing opportunity with Saracens to refine her craft as we count down the days until the Women compete in Aotearoa later on in 2022.
