Holly Nielle Aitchison (born 13 September 1997) is an English rugby union player for Bristol Bears Women. She has played international representative rugby at the World Cup, Olympic Games, and Six Nations Championships.

Early life

Born in Southport, she attended St Peter's Primary School and Range High School in Formby where she was coached by Gill Burns. Aitchison is the daughter of former England Saxon and rugby coach Ian Aitchison.[1]

Career

She played for Waterloo Ladies as a junior and Gloucester-Hartpury and Lichfield Ladies. She was a two-time U18 Rugby Europe Women's Sevens champion with England and a member of the squad that lifted the Challenge Trophy at the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[2]

In September 2020 she joined Saracens Women.[3] She was said to have played a key role as Saracens won the Premier 15s title in 2021–22, and played all 80 minutes of the 43–21 victory over Exeter Chiefs in the final.[4]

On 1 July 2023, Aitchison was announced as signing for Bristol Bears Women.[5]

International career

In 2021 she played for the Great Britain Rugby Sevens squad in the delayed 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, where they finished fourth.[6]

In October 2021, she scored a try on her debut for the England 15s team.[7] She was named in the England squad for the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup held in New Zealand in October and November 2022.[8] She was named in the starting 15 for the World Cup final against New Zealand.[9]

For the 2023 Six Nations Championship, Aitchison reverted to starting at fly-half for England.[10] The England side completed a grand-slam in the tournament. In May 2023, she was shortlisted for the ‘best player’ award at the 2023 Six Nations.[11]

Personal life

Aitchison is in a relationship with rugby union player Hannah Botterman.[12]
