Overview
- Saracens confirmed Tuesday that 28-year-old lock Rosie Galligan will leave the club at the end of the season and the club issued a public thank-you for her contributions.
- Galligan is currently away from rugby on maternity leave as she and fiancée Marlie Packer prepare for their first child, who is due in October.
- Marlie Packer has already signed for Premiership Women’s Rugby rivals Harlequins, a move that reshapes squad lines between the two north‑London clubs ahead of the play-off final on 28 June.
- Galligan returns to free agency with a strong record: two domestic titles in her first spell at Saracens, more than 50 appearances since rejoining in 2023, and involvement in every match of England’s 2025 World Cup triumph.
- Her next playing destination has not been announced and Galligan has said she plans to focus on motherhood before returning to the sport energized and with fresh goals.
