Butchers plays as a
back-rower in
rugby union. Butchers signed to play for
Premier 15s club
Worcester Warriors Women with immediate effect that same month. In June 2020, she signed to join
Bristol Bears Women also of Premier 15 to increase the options available for coach
Kim Oliver to select a back row player. Butchers fell on her ankle and sustained ligament damage in a training session for Bristol Bears in 2021. Her contract with the team did not cover all the medical costs for the treatment of her injury and the private insurance policy she took out was voided because the club was paying her, forcing her to fundraise online. She did not want to get operated by the
National Health Service due to pressures it was under caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic and her season would have ended prematurely. The situation attracted media attention and Butcher called for better education of problems with insurance in semi-professional women's rugby. Butchers was selected for the
Wales squad for the
2021 Rugby World Cup in
New Zealand. She was named in the Welsh side for the
2025 Six Nations Championship in March. == Personal life ==
