Bermudez signed for Loughborough Lightning ahead of the 2025/25 PWR season from Saracens Women. The Edmonton-born outside back’s starring role in her country’s run to the final of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games caught the eye of the Saracens, who secured her signature ahead of the 2024/25 Premiership Women’s Rugby season.

She was part of the squad that finished second in the table and was then picked for the 2025 Rugby World Cup – where she added another silver medal to her collection as the Maple Leafs progressed to the final, only to be pipped by England at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.

Bermudez has been tearing up the international 7s circuit for some time, as well as having a strong pedigree in the 15s game, having played for Saracens in the PWR and the Canadian international side, making her debut in 2023 against South Africa, where she scored a hat-trick.

An electric ball-carrier with devastating pace and an ability to break tackles, Bermudez is a part of an electric back-line at Lightning including fellow internationals such as Bo Westombe-Evans, Bulou Mataitoga, Lucia Scott and the versatile talents of Helena Rowland
