England U18 Women’s head coach James Cooper and assistant coach Ollie Perry have confirmed their 45-player squad for a three-day camp at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre.
Commencing Friday, Charlotte Brookes, Izzy Firth, Honey Kerslake and Lily Pereira dos Santos are the previously capped players involved this weekend.
Alongside Firth, Kahnye Faraimo, Martha Rombach and Keira Snyman are recalled into camp in Berkshire. Chantelle Cathline, Meg Coates, Eva Larkai, Tracy Ojeaburu and Rose Powell Williams are also set for their first involvements in Cooper’s set-up.
All nine RFU PDG sites are represented in the squad makeup for this weekend’s meeting.
England U18 Women return for their next camp at Bisham Abbey National Sports centre on Thursday 12th February. Further information on future England U18 Women’s fixtures, including the 2026 U18 Six Nations Festival, will be communicated in due course.
“This weekend’s camp will be another positive step in the players’ development, as we continue to lay the foundations for the rest of the season with a focus on space this camp,” James Cooper said.
“The energy and intent in recent camps has elevated our standard of training and shown our players have the potential to progress through the pathway. Our speed on and off the pitch, in particular players’ application of detail, has been pleasing and pushed our competitiveness.
“We will continue to ask the squad to be courageous, to challenge themselves and to commit to the environment, and they have responded in the right way so far. We’re in a great position but understand there is plenty of work to do before the Six Nations in April.”
