AbbyDuguid

Abby Duguid arrived just as the new 2025/26 PWR season started to cover the absence of Edel 'Tricky' McMahon.

Formerly of Loughborough Lighting, Duguid has plenty of PWR experience at both lock and in the back row.

Exeter Chiefs Women’s Steve Salvin said: “With Edel’s (McMahon) unfortunate injury ruling her out for the season, we needed to bring someone in of international class to maintain our squad depth.

“Abby is an outstanding back-five player with significant PWR and international experience and is a great addition to our group.

“We have a strong tradition of signing Canadian internationals and we are extremely happy to have another one on our books for the coming season.”

Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Duguid joined Lightning in 2020, where she played with DaLeaka Menin. She made her debut for Canada in 2022 against USA and went on to secure two more caps for her country.

Duguid said: “I believe my style of rugby fits well with where the Chiefs have been and where they’re heading. I can’t wait to contribute in any way I can to an experienced side. This group is hungry for big things, and I’m just excited to be back in the mix and get my boots on the ground.”
