With the 2022 NRLW season starting this Sunday, we caught up with our squad members to get to know them a little better.
We sat down with Centre Yasmin Clydsdale to discuss her late start to the game and playing for her hometown.
Name: Yasmin Clysdsale
Position/s: Second-row/Centre
Junior Club: Queanbeyan Blues Canberra
How did you find Rugby League?
I was late to the game so I didn't start playing until I was 22 years old. I moved to Canberra with my partner who was playing for the raiders. I wanted to make friends in a new community and the best way to do that was through sport.
Your journey in the game? Where have you played before?
I played for the Sydney Roosters for two seasons and the NSW Blues team for three years.
