Saint John prop Kiley Brow commits to UPEI Rugby
The UPEI Women’s Rugby Panthers have recruited Kiley Brow, a 17-year-old from Saint John, New Brunswick, who plays the prop position and brings a wealth of talent to the team.
The last time the UPEI Women’s Rugby Panthers recruited a prop from Saint John, it turned out to be a good fit for both player and team. That player was AUS all-star and U SPORTS all-Canadian Emily Duffy, who was a critical piece to the 2022 championship team. The Panthers and head coach James Voye are hoping to strike gold again in Brow.
