About this episode

Emma Sing discusses her journey from a farm in Devon to becoming a full back for Gloucester-Hartpury and a member of the Red Roses.

Growing up on a farm in a small hamlet in Devon, Emma Sing was surrounded by cows, lambs and loved jumping around hay bales. The Gloucester-Hartpury full back talks about how she still adds her weight to farm work alongside her Red Roses career and studying Bioveterinary Science at university so she could give back to the family farm. Sing also talks about being scouted by Exeter City Football Club as a youngster, how a sports psychologist helped her focus after losing her first England contract and being spotted in supermarkets after winning the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup. In this podcast you will also hear from Emma’s mum Wendy, one of her first coaches Robin Thorne, and teammates Mo Hunt and Alex Matthews. This podcast was recorded in January 2026.
