Domestic career


In 2014, aged 16, Peach joined Featherstone Rovers. In 2017 Peach made the first of four consecutive Challenge Cup final appearances as Featherstone lost to Bradford. The same season Peach was a member of the Featherstone squad that lost the Super League Grand Final, also to Bradford.
The following season Peach moved from Featherstone to Castleford Tigers and in both 2018 and 2019 played on the losing side in Challenge Cup finals, both to Leeds Rhinos. In 2019 Castleford won the League Leaders' Shield but lost the Grand Final to Leeds.
With the 2020 season cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peach moved to the, then, York City Knights for 2021. York reached the Challenge Cup final but lost to St Helens. Peach scored York's only try in a 36–6 defeat. At the end of the season, Peach was nominated for the Woman of Steel competition, losing out to Jodie Cunningham.
2022 saw Peach made co-captain of the York team, alongside Katie Langan. Under Peach and Langan's leadership, York won the League Leaders' Shield but lost the Grand Final to Leeds. Peach was nominated for Woman of Steel again but this time lost out to clubmate, Tara-Jane Stanley.
At the end of 2022, Katie Langan retired and Peach was appointed sole captain of the newly named York Valkyrie. York again won the League Leaders' Shield and went one better than 2022 by beating Leeds in the Grand Final. 2023 was also a personal triumph for Peach as she received her third consecutive nomination for Woman of Steel and was named as Woman of Steel in October 2023.
In October 2023 York Valkyrie became the first English club to offer players professional contracts (the club had previously offered travel and expenses) and Peach was one of the first three players to sign a contract.




International career

Peach was not selected for the 2021 World Cup, which was considered a surprise to many. Peach was recalled to the England side for 2023 and played against France in April 2023.
