Glasgow Warriors announce new contracts ahead of 2026/27 Celtic Challenge

The moves come as Scottish Rugby continues to build its new and enhance women’s performance and pathways system, with some of the country’s brightest young talents returning to Scotland ahead of the new season. Scottish Rugby will be communicating a further update on their contracting model as part of the women’s programme in the coming days.

The eight new players – to be announced across the course of this week – will link up with the Warriors ahead of the new Celtic Challenge campaign, with fixture details to be confirmed in due course by the competition organisers.

Joining the club ahead of the 2026/27 season will be:

Evie Wills

A product of Stirling County RFC, centre Wills returns to Scotland following an impressive season in Sale Sharks colours in Premiership Women’s Rugby.

Comfortable at fly-half as well as centre, the 25-year-old has earned 10 caps for her country to date, making her debut off the bench against Italy at Scotstoun in 2021 and most recently starting at inside centre in this year’s Guinness Six Nations clash with England at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

Prior to her move to Sale Sharks last summer, Wills had turned out for Leicester Tigers and Hillhead Jordanhill, starting in the midfield to help the latter lift the Sarah Beaney Cup in 2022.

She has also previously represented Scotland at U18, U20 and 7s levels, and was part of the Scotland squads for both the 2022 and 2025 Rugby World Cups.

Away from rugby, Wills is a qualified nurse after completing her degree at Glasgow Caledonian University in 2023.

“I can’t wait to be back on home soil, especially in a city that has such a special place in my heart,” Wills told glasgowwarriors.org following the news.

“Glasgow fans and family are the best of the best, and I’m sure they are as excited as I am to get the new season of Celtic Challenge underway.”
