English champions Gloucester-Hartpury have signed Wales forward Alaw Pyrs for the forthcoming Premiership Women's Rugby season.
The 19-year-old lock made her Wales debut last September and featured in this year's Six Nations.
Pyrs previously played for Gwalia Lightning in the Celtic Challenge as well as Hartpury University in the British universities championship.
"To be an international whilst still a teenager is a remarkable achievement, and shows the potential that Alaw clearly has," Gloucester's head of rugby Dan Murphy said.
"She's a physical player and has impressed with Wales, Hartpury and Gwalia Lightning, so we're delighted that she's put pen to paper here.
"She'll learn so much from the experienced forwards we have here and get better and better, and that's what really excites us."
