Molly Udale-Williams joins Hornets Women for 2025

Rochdale Hornets Women have announced the signing of pivot Molly Udale-Williams for the 2025 season.

The 18-year-old pivot joins on the back of a successful union season at Bury RFC.

She becomes the fourth signing to join Ben Bird's squad ahead of the 2025 season.

“I joined hornets to build self confidence and my skills in rugby league. From being told about Ben and Rob and then meeting them afterwards I had no doubt that I wanted to be part of their vision and part of the women’s Hornets family. I’m very excited and looking forward for what’s to come for the women and for the club this season.”

Rochdale Hornets Women head coach Ben Bird said: “Molly is another that's come from the Bury RU ladies and another who embraces the physicality of league with a background in martial arts, currently a black belt taekwondo coach. Molly is new to rugby league but it's clear why she came recommended by ex-Hornet and now Super League player Kate Howard. Molly has a contagious energy, is fast, confident and is a natural with ball in hand. I'm excited to see how she goes this year.”
