Katherine ("Kat") Merchant (born 29 October 1985) is an English female rugby union player who represented her country 58 times and scored 44 tries. She had a 9 year international playing career and was known for her Speedster finishing and killer hand off. Her excellent try to cap ratio made her one of the most feared opponents of her time. She excelled at both 7’s and 15’s, going to both world cups twice. She became a world champion in 2014, which was sadly her last game. She was forced into early retirement for too many concussions. Outside of rugby she is a personal trainer and rugby coach, and in her spare time regularly commentates and delivers motivational talks. Her passion lays within rugby and the fitness industry. She can be regularly seen out with her dog and seeing friends for coffee.
