Bio

Paige Farries is a winger for the Canada women's rugby union team and Saracens Women. She debuted for the Canada Sevens team in 2013 and made her first international appearance for the 15s side in 2017.

Born on 12 August 1994, Paige Farries was raised in the city of Red Deer in Alberta. An avid lacrosse player during her teens, she decided to try rugby after it was recommended by one of her high school teachers. Farries quickly realised she was a talented player. 

Next, Farries attended the University of Alberta where she represented the Alberta Pandas. She joined the team as a centre but quickly switched to the wing. While studying, she was selected for the Canada U20s side and the Canada Sevens team—at this point, Farries had only been playing rugby for 18 months.

A few years later, in 2017, Farries was studying in London, Ontario. She watched the 2017 Rugby World Cup from her dorm room and was inspired to try out for the national 15s team. Farries was successful and she joined the Canada squad in time for their fall tour. 

Next, in 2020, Farries signed with Worcester Warriors. Two years later, she contested and won the inaugural Pacific Four Series. She also delivered a career-defining performance at the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup. 

Farries started in all seven of Canada’s matches and scored tries in four. This included their winning quarter-final against the United States. She scored her try during the opening minute of the second half and inspired her team’s 32-11 result.

Her achievements continued into 2023. She was a key fixture at the Pacific Four Series and she crossed the line against England at the first WXV 1 tournament—Canada finished as the runners-up. In the same year, Farries signed to a new club: Saracens Women. She signed a long-term deal with the team in 2024.

With her club and international career continuing to evolve, Paige Farries is certainly one to watch.
