Hollie-Mae Dodd is back in England’s squad for the first time since her move to Australia as they face Wales in an autumn Test in Leeds.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Canberra Raiders second row became the first English player to feature and score in the Women’s NRL after joining from York Valkyrie in 2023.<\/p>\n

She has regained fitness and form after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament in September 2023, shortly after her move to Australia.<\/p>\n

England head coach Stuart Barrow has selected six potential debutants, including Leeds Rhino pop Izzy Northrop and Huddersfield Giants full-back Amelia Brown, for the match at AMT Headingley on 2 November (12:00 GMT), which will be shown live in the UK on the BBC.<\/p>\n

“With the squad currently carrying a number of long-term injuries and some players unavailable, today\u2019s squad is very much a transitional one, but we have a great mix of youth and experience heading into camp next Wednesday,” said Barrow.<\/p>\n

St Helens centre Erin Stott and Wigan Warriors trio Mary Coleman, Eva Hunter and Jenna Foubister are the other first-time call-ups. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
