Wasps FC Ladies sign England 7s stars Amy Wilson Hardy and Katie Mason

Moving closer to home today, Wasps FC Ladies add to their collection of international players with 7s stars Amy Wilson Hardy and Katie Mason.

Fresh from the England 7s programme, Wilson Hardy and Mason are transitioning back into 15s and chose Wasps to be the place where they can grow their game with the perfect combination of professionalism and fun.

Having spent the last 2 years as a professional 7s player for England, Mason gained her first international cap in 15s during the 2015 Six Nations whilst playing club rugby at Bristol. Excited to get the season started, Mason is looking forward to playing regularly and having her first taste of the Tyrrells Premier 15s.

Team GB Olympian and Commonwealth Games medallist Wilson Hardy made her international debut in 2013, having previously played at Worthing and Bristol. Wilson Hardy had a brief switch back in to 15s for the 2017 World Cup in Ireland before returning to the 7s programme last season. When asked what her first impressions of Wasps and the players were, Wilson Hardy said

"An amazingly warm and welcoming group of players and staff. I already feel like part of the squad and I haven’t even played yet. The willingness to learn and the professionalism shown, despite not getting paid is something that many can learn from. It can be seen that these girls are so driven but also love what they do and to be part of that will be something special."

Keep an eye out for Mason & Wilson Hardy in the upcoming TP 15s this Saturday V Bristol and live on Sky Sports next Saturday V Loughborough Lightning.
