Buckhurst Plant Hire Backs Sale Sharks Stars for 2025–26 Season

Buckhurst Plant Hire is proud to officially announce its sponsorship of two of Sale Sharks Women’s highest profile international players for the 2025–2026 rugby union season.

Buckhurst will sponsor England hooker Amy Cokayne and versatile Wales back Courtney Keight while also having a presence in hospitality at Sale Sharks Men’s home fixtures.

Amy Cokayne joins Sale Sharks this season from Leicester Tigers, following a two-year deal signed in May 2025.

Over the summer, she starred as Hooker for England’s Red Roses in the Women’s Rugby World Cup, hosted across the UK. A seasoned international, Amy has earned over 80 caps and scored more than 165 points for England.

Courtney Keight also arrives at Sale Sharks this season, making the move from Bristol Bears. Known for her versatility across wing, centre, and full-back positions, Courtney’s journey from university rugby to the international stage has been truly inspiring.

She represented Wales in this summer’s Women’s Rugby World Cup, showcasing her dynamic style and tenacity.

John Walsh, Managing Director of Buckhurst Plant Hire, shared his enthusiasm:

“We’re thrilled to begin this new chapter with Sale Sharks. Having supported grassroots rugby for many years, now feels like the perfect time to align with a national club that’s driving excellence—especially within the women’s game. The Sharks’ squad is brimming with talent, and with exciting signings like Amy and Courtney, this season promises to be one to watch.

We can’t wait to cheer them on from the stands!”
