Anfield is stepping down at York at the end of the Women’s Super League season. According to womensrl.com, Pryce is in the running to replace her.
rugbyleaguehub.com Long Reads understands that the former Great Britain player is the number one candidate for the job.
York officials have stated that nothing was confirmed when contacted today.
