SAM NORMAN has returned to Barrow Raiders after a year away from rugby league.
Along with fellow outside back Emma Hutchinson, Norman missed the 2025 season to go travelling.
She has been with the Raiders since they were under the guise of Barrow Island, helping the club to promotion in 2023 and then making 13 appearances in their first top-flight campaign.
Barrow slipped from fifth to seventh in Super League last season in Norman’s absence.
She said: “It’s been a long 12 months. I’ve missed the team, and it will be really nice to get back to it.”
Meanwhile, winger Chloe Capstick, forward Lucy Dickinson and back-rower Vanessa Temple have all committed for the 2026 season.
