Mackenzie Carson departs Bristol Bears Women

Carson arrived at Shaftesbury Park in the summer of 2018 and made an immediate impact with her ability to get over the gain line and give the Bears front-foot ball, as well as her physicality in contact. 

She covered both the back-row and hooker during her time with the Bears and made the step up to represent Canada at Under-20 and senior level in her singular season in Kim Oliver's side.

Bristol Bears Women Head Coach, Kim Oliver, said: “We’re gutted to lose Mackenzie after only one season at the club as she pursues her dreams of playing at international level for her country.

“She’s a talented player who brought a lot to the club both on and off the field and she will be greatly missed.

“Everyone at the club would like to thank Mackenzie and wish her the best of luck for the future.”
