Scotland internationals Lana Skeldon and Evie Gallagher have signed new contracts with Bristol Bears.
Both players joined the club last summer from Worcester Warriors after they left the Women’s Premiership.
Hooker Skeldon, 30, has 69 international caps while 23-year-old number eight Gallagher has 27.
Gallagher was part of the side that was beaten 36-24 by Gloucester-Hartpury in last season’s final.
“Evie was outstanding for us last season,” head coach Dave Ward said of Gallagher.
“She is already demonstrating the skills and abilities of a top class player with the potential to be one of the best back row players in the world.”
“Lana provides us with excellent competition at hooker,” he continued, speaking of Skaledon.
“With her play around the park, her leadership and ability at set piece she is a player that we are eager to see in a Bears shirt once again this season.”
