"I'm going to go and enjoy playing for Saracens for a little while and I'll make decisions but at the moment I'm contracted with the Red Roses until June 2026 - [I'm] not hanging up my boots any time soon," Packer told BBC Radio Somerset. "It's more of a case I just want to enjoy this time with my club, with my family and then when I decide to make decisions I will."
"I feel the fittest, the best I've felt in a long time - this run-up to the World Cup I've got myself in great shape," Packer said. "We've got a repeat of [last season's] PWR final in two weeks' time - Saracens versus Gloucester, in Gloucester. That's where my head's at."
"[Its'] just the sense of achievement."
Marlie Packer, 35, won a second World Cup with England's Red Roses and earned her 112th cap in the group-stage win over Samoa, her only tournament appearance. Packer remains contracted to England until June 2026 and said she is not retiring soon. She plans to enjoy playing for Saracens, spend time with family, and decide on future moves later. Packer was World Player of the Year in 2023 and was replaced as England captain by Zoe Aldcroft in January, though she captained the warm-up win against Spain. Packer said she feels the fittest she has in a long time and is focused on the upcoming Premiership season and a PWR final rematch.
