Elychia Watson - Leeds Rhinos
After leaving Roundhay High School, she joined the Army and began playing for their Rugby League team, making her first appearance in 2016 and going onto be part of the 2020 Army Team of the Year.
The centre also played for Huddersfield Giants, then was deployed to Iraq with the Army for five months, but on her return, she was asked to trial with the Rhinos, where she impressed the coaches and was offered a place in the squad.
Watson has a degree in HR Management Degree from the University of Surrey. She described herself as an 'adrenaline junkie' growing up and has done sky diving as well as charity running challenges and hill walking. She has played sports including football, basketball, netball, hockey and athletics and once won the award for Strongest Woman in a 1000lb weightlifting competition.
Her job in the Army involves speaking in schools about her career and life experiences and says returning to her old school Roundhay and being able to give back by talking to their pupils was one of her proudest moments.
