Olivia Apps signs for Saracens as injury cover

Saracens Women have announced the signing of Canadian international Olivia Apps as injury cover for the 2025-26 season.

Apps joins the North London club immediately after playing a key role in Canada’s run to the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final.

She featured in all seven of Canada’s match-day squads during the tournament, including an appearance off the bench in the final at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium.

Away from fifteens, Apps has also built a decorated sevens career. She captained the Canadian women’s sevens team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, helping her side to a silver medal finish.

Apps said she was excited to begin a new chapter with Saracens, describing the club as a natural fit given its history of Canadian players.

“I’m really looking forward to joining the PWR and competing alongside such a high calibre group of players.

"Saracens has always felt like a second home for many Canadians in the league, so it felt like a natural fit, especially with the quality of their resources, coaching, and players.

"I’m excited to be joining the Saracens team and can’t wait to get started.”
