Italy winger Francesca Granzotto will join Premiership Women's Rugby side Exeter after the World Cup.

The 23-year-old, who can also play at scrum-half and full-back, has won 19 Italy caps.

She has most recently been playing for Rome-based side Unione Rugby Capitolina and has also played for English side Hove while studying in Worthing.

"Francesca is a great person and a player who is looking to develop her skills even further in the PWR," Exeter's interim head coach Steve Salvin said.

"Her versatility in the backs will give us options on a match-day. She is a very welcome addition to the squad."
