Paige Nickerson Farries (born 12 August 1994) is a Canadian rugby union player.[2] She currently plays as a wing for Saracens in Premiership Women's Rugby, the top-flight competition of women's rugby union in England, and for Canada at international level.[3]
Farries is originally from Red Deer, Alberta, but now lives on Vancouver Island.[4] She played lacrosse for several years, but stopped playing in grade 11 due to the size and the physicality of the boys.[4] While deciding what to do next, her high school's rugby director invited her to try rugby. After giving it a go, she became instantly hooked.[4]
