17 | Cailtin Casey

St.Helens Women made the signing of one of the most exciting young players in the Women’s Super League, with Caitlin Casey joining the Red V from the 2025 season!

The halfback joined the Saints following her departure from Leeds Rhinos where she came through in their youth ranks after being spotted whilst playing at Swillington ARFLC, and the Oulton Raidettes where she was part of a Women’s Championship Grand Final winning team in 2022.

Making her Leeds debut early in 2023, Casey enjoyed a breakthrough rookie season and guided the Rhinos around in the half-back position, making appearances in the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley and the Women’s Super League Grand Final, the latter of which she scored a try in.

Casey capped off a strong first Rhinos season by being named the 2023 Betfred Women’s Super League Young Player of the Year.

Further elite experience came in 2024, with the young half showing off her strong skillset of passing, kicking, and running; all the tools needed from a number seven in rugby league. Casey was elevated from the England Knights National Performance Squad into the Senior Squad in 2024 too.

Choosing to take on a new challenge with the Saints for 2025, Caitlin finished her time at Leeds after making 36 appearances, scoring 14 tries and 14 goals for the club.
