Exeter’s England winger Claudia MacDonald has signed a new contract for the 2025-26 Premiership Women’s Rugby season.

The 29-year-old, who has won 35 England caps, joined the club in 2022 and has scored 25 tries in 29 games during a spell that has been hampered by a serious neck injury.

MacDonald earned an England recall during this year’s Six Nations and is aiming to be part of the squad for the upcoming World Cup.

She was part of the side that made the last World Cup final in New Zealand in 2021, coming on as a second-half replacement in the final.

“Claudia is a world-class player, as shown by her performances in the Six Nations,” interim head coach Steve Salvin told the club website.

“She worked so hard to recover from her injury and is always a positive influence around the team. Her aim right now is obviously the World Cup, but when she returns, I think we will see an even better version of her at club level.”
