The 28 year-old will join Gold Coast Titans for their season which gets underway in July, but is linking up with them in advance as part of their pre-season preparation.

The Canadian International, who has 10 caps for her country and featured in the 2017 and 2021 World Cups, joined the Valkyrie mid-way through 2024. She went on to be part of the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final winning squad, scoring five tries in a total of eleven appearances last year.

York Valkyrie director of rugby, Lindsay Anfield said: “ Whilst disappointed that Meg won’t be finishing the season with us, we are extremely proud to have been part of her journey.

"On and off the field, Megan has added so much value to the Valk badge and has been a first-class team mate.

"The younger girls in the squad have learnt a lot from witnessing Meg’s professionalism towards her athleticism and rugby. They have seen first hand what it takes to be at the top of your game.

"We wish her and the Titans all the best for the season ahead."

Pakulis leaves for Australia at the end of the week, and won't be available for Sunday's Betfred Women's Challenge Cup semi-final.
