Welsh international duo Alisha and Jasmine Joyce are among a group of 11 players who will depart the Bristol Bears this summer, the PWR side have announced.
The pair, who welcomed son Ralphie into the world at the end of 2025, are set to head home to Wales to be closer to their families.
Since joining Bristol in 2020, the pair have helped the Bears to two top-four finishes and a PWR final.
They will be joined back in Wales by Jenna de Vera and Savannah Picton-Powell, who have been offered central contracts by the WRU.
It is a similar story for Scottish contingent Emma Orr, Elliann Clarke, and Rhea Clarke.
Back Meg Varley has announced her retirement from the game and will leave the Bears after three seasons.
Canadian pair Pamphinette Buisa and Chloe Daniels also leave after one season, with Stella Orrin completing the list of departures.
