Wales centre Hannah Bluck has joined Exeter Chiefs for the new Premiership Women's Rugby season.

Bluck has been capped 15 times by Wales, but did not make Sean Lynn's 32-player squad for the Rugby World Cup.

The 28-year-old most recently played her club rugby for Celtic Challenge side Brython Thunder.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to play for Chiefs. They have such an amazing set-up and a good platform for development," she said.

"I'm looking forward to be back playing Premiership rugby and I'm grateful for the opportunity to play among some extremely talented athletes."

Bluck has also represented Wales in football and basketball, making her a triple international.

Chiefs women's head coach Steve Salvin said: "For someone to represent their country in three different sports shows what a talented sportsperson Hannah is.

"Her physicality, both sides of the ball, is a real point of difference, and it will be fantastic to see her in a Chiefs shirt over the coming weeks."
