Biography:

Origins: 2 (2025 G1/G2)
Nickname: Churchy

Scoring a try on debut in Game One, Church broke out of five tackles in Game Two and had the second-highest run metres (125) of the NSW backs behind skipper Isabelle Kelly in atrocious wet conditions.

This fully-qualified paramedic finished the 2024 NRLW season in equal second spot with Lauren Brown, just two points behind Dally M winner Olivia Kernick. Church did collect Fullback of the Year in the positional awards.

She played centre for Parramatta in the 2022 NRLW Grand Final but has found her niche at fullback for the Eels the past two seasons.
