Zoe Harrison is one of the brightest young talents in English Rugby. Having followed in her father and elder brother’s footsteps, Zoe started playing rugby at just 5 years old. At 14, she was selected for the England Talent Development Group and began her ascent through the ranks of the Players Pathway. Zoe had a very successful youth international career, as part of the England U18’s 7’s squad she became a European Champion in 2015 and European Plate Champion in 2016 before quickly moving into successful spells in the England u20 side.
Zoe made the step up to senior rugby at the beginning of the 2016/17 season where she was named as Saracens Player’s Player of the Year and was the top points scorer in the premiership. Zoe played a key role in both the 2018 & 2019 Tyrells Premier 15’s finals for Saracens, helping them to back to back titles.
Zoe’s first appearance as a Red Rose was in the 2017 Autumn Internationals against Canada and has maintained her place within the Red Roses, playing in the proceeding Autumn Internationals and Women’s Six Nations. In January 2019, Zoe signed her first full-time contract and was key in the Red Roses winning the 2019 Six Nations Grand Slam. She also featured heavily in all five games of the Super Series 2019, all three Quilter Autumn Internationals and was named as one of the 28 contracted Red Roses players for 2019/20.
Zoe is currently a 3rd year student finalising her dissertation in Sports Rehabilitation & Exercise at Middlesex University.
With her sights set on glory with the Red Roses at the 2021 World Cup in New Zealand, it’s an exciting and pivotal time in her career.
