SHEFFIELD will join the list of clubs paying their women's players this year, as they prepare to make their Challenge Cup bow.
The Eagles only formed their women's division in 2021 and will play in the second tier, under the eight-team Super League in a restructured league system, this season.
But they have vowed to join the likes of WSL frontrunners York and Leeds, who took the historic step only a year ago, by financially rewarding their players for on-field success.
