Looks like a Woodlouse Hunter Spider. I got bit by one of those before. They have a painful bite!
Hi, given the condition of the spider and amount of detail I’m uncertain but this may be Meriola decepta. The more common and similar looking alternative would be a Broad-faced Sac Spider, Trachelas tranquilus. The pattern on the abdomen makes me suspect Meriola however. Woodlouse Hunters (Dysdera crocata) are similar looking but have much bigger cherlicerae (jaws).
